Heart in the Mountains

My black and white series featuring original quotes painted with watercolor on satin material. I incorporate my original text into my work, for me the Lazy Cowgirl represents a sense of freedom and a desire to surround herself with those who wish to see her thrive and values beautiful places to nurture her soul. I write these mantras of the envisioned life I wish to live and hope they resonate with you.

I created this piece, Heart in the Mountains, in Aspen for a live painting event.  I wanted to capture the vast sense of exploration I am filled with when I am surrounded by the landscapes out west. The original quote reads, “I am forever inspired by landscapes out west with my head in the clouds and my heart in the mountains. Life feels expansive.”  There is a romantic draw to western landscapes and a sense of hope from these endless horizons.
