I've lived in Montana my whole life. My work is inspired by the animals and scenes I find around me. I have two children, a few grandchildren, and my husband Robert-a cowboy poet. We live on a small two acre parcel of land with two donkeys and our two cats. We spend a great amount of time collecting photos for our work.
