Big Bend Paintings

I am completely captivated by the incredible diverse landscape and stark beauty that is Big Bend National Park! Since our first visit in 2016, we have returned each year (some years more than once!) to experience this stunning geological marvel. The rich history and abundant wildlife is surpassed only by the incredible stargazing that is possible when you're away from the city lights.

 

Our trips have included Marathon and exploration of all regions throughout Big Bend. We've visited Santa Elena Canyon, the Window Trail, the Ross Maxwell Drive, Boquillas Canyon, Terlingua and many sights in between.

​

I hope you enjoy Big Bend through my paintings!
