about the series
Mountain Flower Goat Dairy — a magical farm where goat camp takes place during the summers and visiting hours are free and open to the public. It was at this farm in Boulder, Colorado where Ariel first met Johnny Cashmere, a spry goat with an exquisite name. Upon interaction with the kids (baby goats) of this farm, Ariel instantly knew she found her calling. Ariel’s series of goat prints takes on a humorous approach to portraiture. She focused on the gesture and poses of each figure, with the goal of creating a relationship between the viewer and the subject of her work.
