Blair Latos is a full-time fine artist and creative entrepreneur based in the Sierra Nevada. She creates large-scale paintings inspired by mountains, open landscapes, and time spent outdoors.
She began painting in high school and quickly committed to developing her skills. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Nevada, Reno, she chose to pursue a career as a professional artist.
As the founder of At the Summit Arts, she creates original paintings, works with outdoor brands and organizations, partners with nonprofits on fundraising events, and completes commissioned pieces based on personal stories, places, and experiences.
Outside the studio, she spends much of her time in the mountains, with a focus on long-distance running and mountaineering. She also studies science with an interest in understanding natural systems and patterns. She is currently working toward her Private Pilot License.
