Venture Here and There 
More map abstract… I was once told my pallet is way too saturated by someone I respect and it hurt. Feeling like I can’t choose the colors I am drawn to is defeating. But here is this piece that I love and it is all things bright and rich and deeply personal. Everyone has an opinion, choose carefully of the ones you will listen to. . . . #abstractart #abstract #howdarling #color #coloradoartist #acrylic #mountainfair #rurallife #farm #homestead #individual #yellow #red #pink #buyart

When I create #abstract work I like to base it on something very real to me. @andersonranchartscenter learning from the incredible @beckysuss I spent my time reflecting on my grandma’s life. This piece is based on the map of my grandparent’s farm. I spent an enormous amount of time on this farm as a child. I am thrilled my cousin and his family will be raising their wild boys here. @westerncouture @nik.benton . . . . #abstractart #thatsdarling #rurallife #grandparents #farm #abstractart #coloradoartist #patterndesign #howdarling #artlicensing #mountainfair @beckysuss

My time @andersonranchartscenter this summer was incredible. @beckysuss was my instructor and I learned so much. I challenged myself on a whole new level, and gained confidence in broken spots. I am excited to share pieces of my work with you! #artretreat #westernart #artistofinsgagram #coloradoartist #acrylic #buyart

My grandma Mern had a blouse with this print on it. It was an airy summer shirt that went from a nicer “go to town shirt” to a “everyday” shirt in my lifetime. I can still feel the cool fabric and her rough hands embracing me. She passed when I was 16 so unexpectedly I am still trying to catch my breath. I have spent a lot of time reflecting on her life this week @andersonranchartscenter and wishing that her life had been easier and we had had her for longer. I hope to live my life so deep and wide that it will somehow be enough for both of us. #grandparents #acrylicpaint #vintageprint #country #wildwest #farmgirl #artistofinstagram #coloradoartist #artretreat #grief

B-a-n-a-n-a-s @lisabardot has inspired me draw more of this fruit. It had been a whirlwind last 48 hours with commission sales and I can’t wait to get to work 🤗 #illustration #bananas #fruit #thishitisbananas #artistoninstagram #coloradoartist #buyart #altsummit2019
