WILD WOMEN MISSION STATEMENT
We are a collective of accomplished women artists, bound by a deep connection to nature and humanity, with a shared passion for capturing untamed beauty. With a balance of grit and grace, we bring our unique voices and seasoned perspectives to the canvas, celebrating the creativity that lies within each of us. Through our work, we seek to inspire, uplift, and foster meaningful connections—between artists, nature, and those who experience our art. Together, we create a space where inspiration thrives, stories unfold, and the enduring spirit of women in the arts is honored.
Heading Out West
This was fun to paint! 🦊 It's always a wonderful feeling when a painting seems to paint itself.
I made a little Instagram Reel (see below) to show a bit of the fun I had while painting, On the Prowl. This painting will be heading up with me to Great Falls, Montana for the Out West Art Show & Sale. 🤠
I'll be with Dana Gallery. Come see my new paintings this weekend August 18-21, 2021.
Hope to see some of you there!
