Eileen Nistler - Colored Pencil

I was born in the beautiful Inyan Kara area of the Black Hills in Wyoming. I left for seventeen years to pursue an education and short career as an architect. Then, the magic of Wyoming called me back. I now live in the house that I drew my first paintings in as a child. We live on and operate the family ranch that lies between Upton and Sundance, Wyoming. Much of my inspiration comes from living and loving on a working ranch in Wyoming. ​
