About Us

I'm Jane Mortimore. I'm an nomadic artist, living and traveling in my Class B Van named Daisy, along with my 13-year-old Chihuahua named Piglet. 

I travel mostly in the southwest United States, but may wander to other regions if the wind blows me there. 

I document my adventures on a YouTube Channel also named LIke a Tumbleweed. I will be creating art on the road and offering it for sale on this website along with art prints of older paintings. 

I've been drawing and painting since 2014 and have been a photographer since 2004. 

My primary painting style is abstract realism, but I also paint pure abstract as well as pure realism. My preferred media are acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and graphite pencil/charcoal. 

The previous name of the gallery was Laughing Crow Artisans. It was at one time a brick and mortar art gallery and studio, located in Springer, a small town in northern New Mexico. It was located in the historic Brown Hotel Building, built between 1920 and 1924. The hotel building  was purchased in June 2021. It was partially renovated and the gallery opened in April 2022.  

Unfortunately, the maintenance of the 100+ year-old hotel building was too much for one person and the gallery was closed in early 2023 and was sold in September 2023.
