Piece description from the artist
A grain elevator in Wilsall, Montana, just before the sun goes down. The photograph was taken with the sun directly behind the elevator, creating an aura of light around its edges, and softening the blue of the sky. Often the side of the grain elevator that gets the most sun is faded and weathered, creating interesting textures in a photograph, but if I explore the side that's in shadow, often I find that the more interesting side isn't the one most visible. This elevator had a great hidden side from the road, where the shapes and textures were far more varied and interesting.
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.
