Mule deer are some of my favorite subjects. I find them graceful and beautiful. I choose to paint the does. As a Montanan, there’s too much emphasis put on antlered bucks, for an entirely different reason. Here, I was experimenting with saturated color and enjoyed the way that worked in this piece.

"In the Hill Country" was juried into the American Women Artists National Show at the Hannah Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX. in 2019.
