Cristall Harper's love of art began as a child studying the colors, shapes and shifting light in a stained glass window in her dad's office. Painting at her home in American Fork, Utah, Harper is known for her joyful style, described as "beautifully rooted in reality." In this piece, a young pup is learning to hunt with a plush toy pheasant. Harper tells us, "I've always had hunting dogs – it's amazing to watch their instincts kick in, even at a young age."
