Piece description from the artist
As an introvert, I am pre-destined to love isolation and solitude. These little sheep barns are the epitome of isolation and were built deep in the countryside for sheep herders to live in and use for their flock. Tiny but mighty, they have lasted decades beyond their use. Most are abandoned today but remain as a reminder of those simpler times. It was a tough life, but the herders' connection to nature and their sheep was indeed fulfilling for most looking to work and be left alone. Many of them, I think, are kindred spirits of introverted nature.
Annie was born and raised in Montana, growing up on her family's ranch in the beautiful Smith River Valley. Growing up in Montana's wild and beautiful Landscape led to her deep love of nature and all things rural. Annie attended the Art Institute of Colorado and lived in Denver Colorado until the completion of her Interior Design degree in 2002. After working in that field for several years, Annie moved back to Montana and began her own business, focusing on her ever-growing love of photography. She began traveling the backroads and wilderness of Montana and the Rocky Mountain region and selling her photos professionally in galleries, shops, and online. She primarily searches for rural Landscapes, old barns, abandoned farmhouses, and occasionally wildlife she encounters. Her work as been featured in HGTV, Better Homes and Gardens, and featured in three books on emerging artists of the United States. She currently lives in Billings, Montana, and takes several trips during the year to gather new images.
