Piece description from the artist
An abandoned wood farmhouse stands in the beautiful fall grasses of the Montana plains. These old houses in rural America are a reminder of the simpler days and slower way of life. I love to photograph them, as a way of documenting them before they disappear. These simple homes make me think of the simple lives that it housed, and what life there must have been like. I often think of the beautiful sunsets and sunrises that came through those old windows, and the smell of cooking breakfast wafting from the kitchen and into the country air.
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.
