“I love the Midwest countryside and its vignettes and vistas. I am a native Iowan and my parents were trained horticulturalists. Growing up in rural Iowa, the countryside was an important part of life. I find inspiration in the farms, fields, and nature areas of the local countryside.” Lianne Westcot, acrylic landscape artist
