This truck sits in my neighbors field and each winter as the snow piles up, it turns the rusty old truck into a thing of beauty.
The cool pines in the background contrast with the warmer tones of the truck. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting streaks of yellow and pale gold that break up the coolness of the snow Overall, the mood feels quiet and reflective—like a frozen moment in time—where nature has slowly begun to reclaim something once used and valued.

I love working with Lorie Batson who is an amazing local artist of Westcliffe, Co. Together we create beautiful, art work and bring our creative visions together.
Being able to frame Lorie's artwork and add my own creative touch has been such an amazing experience. Together, we’re not just creating beautiful pieces—we’re blending our styles and the spirit of our Westcliffe community.

Flying Lead Designs~ in the workshop, I’ve been crafting unique, one-of-a-kind frames that elevate each piece of art. My passion for repurposing and sustainability leads me on adventures and hunting for vintage treasures, gathering Western belts, belt buckles, conchos, cowhide and barn wood —all of which come together in distinctive, handcrafted frames. These designs merge Western charm, craftsmanship, and eco-conscious creativity.
