Artists Statement: My goal for this series was not to do easily recognizable mountain ranges (although you can’t really help it with the Tetons!), but to present the finer details of mountains as more of a piece of art. Using a limited palette of colors, shadows and highlights make this type of artwork pop in a really simple way. This past year I’ve taken advantage of getting into the mountains much more than in the past, and that helped inspire these pieces. Though I’ve never been a landscape painter, painting these detailed portions of mountains has made me look at the mountains in Jackson in a totally new way when I’m outside and I hope does the same for you.

Artist Bio: On a road trip from her farm town in Ohio to California about 10 years ago, Haley drove through the mountains in Colorado and realized cute little mountain towns existed. Six months later, she was living in Vail and now she’s been in Jackson six years; first doing Fashion Design, and now focusing on illustration and painting murals. If she isn’t painting, you can find her skiing those pretty mountains, chilling in a cafe, or flying to different country on a whim. Follow her online at HaleyBadenhop.com or Instagram @haleybhop.
