I am captivated by the narratives of people who settled the Western United States. As a child in Eastern Montana, I wandered the history-rich countryside looking for abandoned homesteads. At each site, I found fascinating evidence of difficult lives eked out on the Northern Plains. Today, this same curiosity motivates me as I mine for stories found in vintage, vernacular, photography and create paintings that make visible universal themes about unknown Americans. Friendship, community, pride, and home are some of the themes that reveal the vast topography of our shared human experience. - https://danahartstone.com/info/
