There is an obvious beauty in Northwestern Wyoming, but few artists can capture its true splendor, the essence of the land and wildlife within. Living off of the beaten path near the Wind River Mountains, in Crowheart, Wyoming, Laney is one of those few wildlife artists that does. She is a native of the mountain states, environmentalist, conservationist, photographer, but above all an award-winning wildlife painter.
