Some Newer Pieces (2020-2024)

We Are the Story
Let Us Breathe, Ann Baldwin May

Ranges of mountains flowing and seeming gliding into one another filled my mind at the start of 2023. Landscapes were a familiar turf for me. Yet, for some reason they had included hills rather than mountains. I had never been satisfied with my attempts to recreate the rocky hills of La Quinta,California in the Coachella Valley. However, I found adding layers and layers created a satisfactory scene. I don’t work from photos. For some,I added Guatemalan woven fabrics and reflective sheers that I had not used before in my landscapes.
