Hita von Mende Sold at Auction Prices

Hita von Mende paints images of the West in a contemporary style. Many of Hita von Mende’s oil paintings are about the American West--the cowboys, the cowgirls, the ranchers, horses, cattle, coyotes, eagles, landscapes, wind farms and myths--the romance and drama of the West, a dynamic space where heroism is both epic and everyday. Another great source of inspiration is Puget Sound--ships, ports, and great industrial sites. She works and lives on Vashon Island where she and her family are finding out how addictive raising foals can be.
