Piece description from the artist
This old farmhouse is nearly falling down, and has taken on a twisted abnormal shape, as it's frame begins to give. Long ago, these old farmhouses were strong and built to last, and despite being abandoned, they still stand in the meadows of rural South Dakota. I love these old home, and their defiance to nature. It is a testament to the strength of human ingenuity, using the simplest of tools and materials, the original settlers to this area created strong homes for themselves and their neighbors.
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.
