Art Mobile of Montana 2024-25 art exhibition "Connectivity"

I’m happy to share that I was invited to participate in the 2024-25 Art Mobile of Montana traveling exhibition. This year they partnered with Open Air and it’s a fiber art exhibition, titled “Connectivity.”

The Art Mobile of Montana brings curated exhibits, hands-on art lessons, and teacher education to schools across Montana. I’m excited to participate in this year’s exhibition.

I have a video on YouTube documenting the process of making these wall hangings. I used handmade brushes using natural materials. It was great fun for me, and I hope the kids get to try it.

"Downtown Stories" Community Art Collaboration

This Autumn I participated in Kalico Art Center’s “Downtown Stories” community art project. The premise was to match up local artists with local businesses. The artist would create an art installation that visually tells the story of the business and the art would be placed in the windows of the businesses. Kalico created a map for the community to come out and see the art installations and learn more about the downtown businesses in their community.

It was a wonderful experience for me. I loved getting to know the folks at Montana Modern Fine Art Gallery, (whom I was matched up with), meeting the other artists who participated, and learning more about the back story of the businesses that took part in the project.
