Backroads & Brushstrokes
I’m Shauna Layton—artist, storyteller, and fourth-generation Montanan. I’m a painter who finds stories in weathered buildings, wide open roads, and places too beautiful to forget. My work is rooted in Montana—and so am I.
Meet Simon—my studio sidekick, road trip companion, and the muse behind this painting. At 17, he’s been with me through it all.
