Two rugged peaks rise in the distance, dominating the grasslands and woods of the White River National Forest. Three creeks cross the family ranch near Gypsum Creek where she spent part of her childhood and lives six months of the year. When she’s not painting, she’s out fishing, hiking or horseback riding. Her portraits of birds, fish, flowers and mountains capture the glory of the natural world she calls home.</excerpt><author/><image>
