The exhibit will be rotated throughout the year in order to give artists from all over the state this special opportunity. The Secretary of State encourages the public to visit our office and view the “Treasured” Montana Artist Exhibit at their leisure.

Treasured Montana Artist Statement

Each of my paintings starts with one of my photographs, which is altered into the imaginative vision that I have for its colors and shapes. When the vision comes to me, I enhance it by drawing and painting it in by hand. It’s a technique that I’ve developed and as far as I know, no one else is painting in this manner.

This art form is a big change for me. I’ve explored many forms of art in my lifetime always focusing on the realistic. While I still enjoy a variety of art forms I find this new approach offers me creative freedom which is most rewarding. I hope that you will enjoy this variety as I aspire to keep it going.
