    Cat Track Studio

    Artist: Mara Bosch
    Painting / Sculpture / Jewelry / Functional Fiber Arts

    Mara creates art in several mediums, including (but never limited to) paint, sculpture, jewelry, and functional fiber arts. She is continually inspired to try new things; her creativity is boundless. Mara painted the amazing mural in Jessi’s pottery studio at Living Lands (pictured here), and it was truly incredible to watch her bring it to life.
    Mara is an artist deeply rooted in her love for our local landscape. Inspired by the rolling hills, deep hollows, and flowing creeks, she creates beauty in many media from her home and studio outside of Mansfield, MO.
    Her focus on ecology and spirit reflect in her carefully crafted works you see here. Mara’s hope is that nature speaks to you through her pieces, that you notice and connect with the beauty of the land around you and the heart inside.

    Jennifer Fannen

    Wildlife Painter

    Jennifer Fannen was born and raised in Utah where she developed a deep love of nature. She spent her childhood exploring the mountains, forests, and deserts of the state, and her love of nature was instilled in her at a young age.
    After graduating from high school, Jennifer met her husband and they moved to the Ozarks with their 3 son where she continues to live and work as an artist.  Jennifer and her family live on a farm in the Ozark Mountains and spend a lot of their free time exploring and enjoying the wildlife and natural wonders that surround them, and she brings her firsthand knowledge of nature into her paintings.
    Jennifer is a representational wildlife and nature artist, and her paintings are known for their realism and attention to detail. She often paints animals in their natural habitats, and she captures the beauty and wonder of the natural world in her work. Jennifer’s paintings are realistic and expressive, and they capture the beauty and grace of her subjects. She is particularly skilled at depicting the interplay of light, shadow, and color, and her paintings often have a realistic quality that makes the viewer feel like they can step into the world she created.
