Just a Northern Michigan, Great Lakes gal over here who’s obsessed with the high desert. The sagebrush, juniper trees, prickly pear cactus, mountains in the distance — it’s the place that most reliably fuels my creative energy.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 8th at 6pm MST for a lil shop refresh! I’m going to be dropping some new landscape prints, framed western prints, a few originals and more. Now’s a perfect time to join my email list to be the first
