D I S T I N C T L Y M O N T A N A M A G A Z I N E • W I N T E R 2 0 2 1 50 Rocky Mountain National Park where I wanted to add wildlife, which made me think, what would the buildings look like after humans left, and the landscape and animals took them back? It's been a fun challenge to "deconstruct" the hotels' interiors and exteriors and imagine where the buffalo, birds, etc. would roam. YOUR WORK OFTEN FEATURES YELLOW- STONE NATIONAL PARK, A PLACE SPECIAL TO MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PARK AND HOW IT HAS INFORMED AND INFLUENCED YOUR WORK? We made our first trip in the early 2000s, but it only took that once to get hooked on wildlife watching in the park. Adding to our usual win- ter and spring trips was last year's fall colors trip, and we plan to get back in 2021. I've taken art classes with the Yellowstone Institute at the Buffalo Ranch, a unique and won- derful experience. Same as with The Bob trips, I journal, sketch and photograph - it's never hard to find inspiration.
