BANTAM, who was raised in the Nebraska Sandhills, exhibits her paintings internationally and lectures on creativity and critical thinking. Her paintings radiate breathtaking color with the visual imagery of magical science fiction story telling.

Bantam grew up in a part of the Nebraska Sandhills called the Mirage Flats and hails the landscape of her childhood. She creates an otherworldly realism of secret gardens and extinct animals who, once lost, are found~embedded in the rich texture of Bantam’s paint. Each painting hides clues to the narrative of an unfolding story.
