My goal is to expose the essence excitement, emotion and sometimes the pain that is daily life.” "The cowboy way of life has always appealed to my soul" says Gustafson. I love the endless stories of the people who lived way back when, and the excitement the modern cowgirls and cowboys still enjoy!" Gustafson has exhibited her work in Canada and United States, Japan and Australia, in private and community galleries, and holds several awards for her artwork.
