Like a River Glorious by Lacie Abell

About The Artist
Nora Lacie (Magnuson) Abell was born in Bishop, California, and raised in Sheep Ranch, a tiny ghost town in the Sierra Nevada. Abell makes a quiet home on the Colville Confederated Tribes’ reservation, near Inchelium, Washington, and  relies on the “sacred landscapes” of fresh waters, tall mountains, abundant trees and wildlife of  the West as inspiration for her poetic pastel landscapes.
