Montana Melody: Heaven on Earth, Paintings by Connie Herberg

Thursday, June 6, 2024Saturday, July 6, 2024

Show title inspired by the Montana State Song, “Montana Melody” by LeGrand and Colleen Harvey

"This land we call Montana has long held a special attraction for its wayfarers. From its first native inhabitants to present day adventurers, there is a mystique that draws us in. We, as caretakers, must ensure that this land of unique natural wonders, in all its awesome beauty and bounty, remain a wild land.

"Growing up in a farming family, I learned a respect and a deep appreciation for the land. My husband and I introduced our own children to fishing, hunting, and camping. The opportunities that these activities have provided connects me ever more intimately with the forms and colors of the landscape. As I capture the landscape of Montana in paint, I’m keenly aware of the delicate balance of nature and the influence of humans in that balance.

"Will this wild and wonderful place always be so for my grandchildren, great grandchildren, and beyond, or will it be a fleeting memory as the land is eaten up in the greed of developments and a lack of awareness? My hope and prayer is for preservation of the land and the wildness, not just in paint or photo, but in the hearts of all who visit. Montana is truly heaven on Earth."

--Connie Herberg

In conjunction with this exhibition, Connie will teach a painting workshop June 14 and June 15.
