Collection: Julie Nighswonger

Julie Nighswonger’s art exemplifies life in the West in a way that captures the beauty of her surroundings. In a style that she describes as impressionistic realism, Nighswonger captures moments that are all too often taken for granted. Her work explores nature, animals and the West.

“Certain things catch my eye,” Nighswonger says, “It’s the crisp early morning light, the warm glow of the evening or the way the light dances off of a horse’s mane.”

In her work she strives to document and share the uniqueness of the Western landscape and its Cowboy lifestyle.

“It is my hope to stir a memory or evoke an emotional response.”
