These perspectives\, especially an artist’s perspective is evident in our work. It is personal. It drives decision-making\, thinking patterns \, and actions. It can define an artist’s creative process and what that artist wants her art to say. How the artist wants the viewer to see the pi ece and respond.'\n\n“Six Perspectives\,” is about six Montana artists tha t were brought together by the 2022 Montana Artrepreneur Program (MAP) and each artist’s perspective that influences creations. The Montana Arts Cou ncil\, which organizes and facilitates MAP\, believes 'artists are\, by n ature\, inventors\, engineers\, explorers\, and discoverers. Artists see p ossibility everywhere.' As a result\, the Montana Arts Council also implie s there is no singular approach to art. It is individually determined.\n\n Multiple choices are embedded in the creative process. Artists choose such things as simplicity\, variety\, contrast\, distinction\, and color. Arti sts choose the subject matter. Artists choose the materials. All these cho ices enlighten a viewer’s understanding of an artist’s intended statement. In this group of artists\, their messages are stated and achieved.\n\nArt ists in the exhibition say\, 'We six artists speak about our story\, obser vation\, and need for questioning. We long to evoke beauty\, meaning\, and a memory. We propose reflection and a possible new pace for life. We are six artists\, with six perspectives. We want to tell our individual storie s together\, bound as chapters of a book.'\n\n\nParticipating Artists -\n \nLiz Chappie Zoller: mixed media painter\n'My art explores the overlappin g edges of diverse cultures. I invite viewers to discover the unexpected intersections of our common values and goals\, therefore asking each viewe r to stay curious and open to our shared humanity\, instead of what separa tes us.'\n\nLisa Christopher: NUNO felting artist\n'I create to question t he eyes of the viewer\, so they wonder what they are looking at. Each piec e tells a story\, and my energy is infused into every square inch.'\n\nCyn thia Handel: sculptor\n'I am inspired by my environment. I dance with fire . I draw with fire. I play with fire. Fire is where my alchemy happens.'\n \nJohn Kennedy: writer\, pen\, wash watercolor artist\n“I’m trying to tell you something about my life. That is what I want in my art and in my life . The crumbling bricks of an old building are our souls laid bare\, saggin g power lines strung across a city alley are our struggle to rise above th e fray\, the braided strands of a river\, the twisted path of my own life’ s journey. It all means something more than what we simply see.' \n\nPat O lding: palette knife painter\n'By exploring and re-imaging color and patte rn I aim to engage the viewers’ eye. My goal is to create a path of discov ery for viewers and invite new awareness. Like Thoreau wrote\, 'The questi on is not what you look at\, but what you see.''\n\nCarmen Young: oil pain ter\n'With oil paint\, I lay down color on the canvas in hopes of creating a tangible Montana memory. I hope that my art will move its viewers to pa use\, reflect\, and seek moments of observation in their surroundings.'\n \nThis exhibition is on view February 1-March 22\, 2025.
