About the Item
Artist Comments
Inspired by a beautiful basin in northern New Mexico outside of Santa Fe. "A monsoonal storm passed through and left the ground wet," says artist Heather Foster. "Somehow that creates the most intense, saturated colors you will see." The storm is breaking up, but the rain is falling from one cloud in the distance. The fence line creates a geometric division of the landscape and also reinforces the depth with its perspective.
About the Artist
Artist Heather Foster captures an enduring image of the West. She paints the dramatic landscapes and stalwart animals she encounters on her adventures to ranches and rodeos. Heather says she has always known she wanted to be an artist. As a child, she spent her weekends and summers riding the bus into Philadelphia to attend art classes at Philadelphia College of Art, Moore College of Art, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Over the years, she's moved around the country quite a bit and done many jobs - everything from driving a pedicab (a giant tricycle that transports passengers) to art restoration and conservation (for one project, she unstretched and then restretched a $17 million painting that would not fit through the door of the buyer's house). The one constant though, no matter where she lived or what side jobs she held, she always made space and time to paint. Today, she works from a home studio in Santa Fe, painting from thousands of reference photographs she shoots on her travels. Her artwork has been featured in the magazines Southwest Art, American Art Collector, and Western Art Collector, and published in the books Art Journey New Mexico and The Book of the Horse.

Artist Samuel Pretorius paints a warm and refreshing stretch of Coronado Beach. He displays a quintessentially California composition in charismatic impressionism. The lifeguard tower and palm tree overlook the sea glistening in the late afternoon sun. "I wanted to capture the heat of the sand on a hot summer day with the promise of cooling down in the ocean," says Samuel.
