With nature as an inspiration to see beauty in the world, many artists take their canvases, paints, and brushes to the great outdoors so they can work amid the natural beauty they wish to depict. That certainly applies for Terlingua artist Michele Billings. A native of Maine, Billings has been a sign painter and artist since the age of 19. Four years ago, her life took on a more adventurous path as she relocated to the wild and scenic Big Bend area, a setting that has attracted many with artistic inclinations. “It’s nice to know that I don’t have to be right in town to run a business. It’s important for me to live in the wilderness, and that’s just my thing. That was a big draw – the very remote land,,,but being close to both a state and national park,” she said.
