Rachel Rollins, a versatile artist based in Northern Montana, specializes in multi-disciplinary artistry. Her work, “Bodies in (E)motion,” utilizes acrylic and encaustic techniques on reclaimed materials, often overlooked and forgotten in hidden corners of the world. This mirrors our relationships with our emotions and selves, often neglected. The objective is to reintroduce beauty and a sense of love and wonder into these neglected spaces. “Bodies in (E)motion” centers on exploring the body and mind in motion, celebrating all forms of expression. This collection offers a vibrant glimpse into the intimate connection between self and body, portraying raw and uninhibited moments of intimacy. 

 “Hello! My name is Natalie Erwin and I grew up in Pennsylvania. I am a lover of music, birds, and mountains. Art is an important part of my life that I hope to always share with others!”

Falina Sinopah Lintner is a local emerging artist, raised in East Glacier Park, Whitefish and exploring the Public Lands of Montana. She studied at University of Montana; graduating in 2012 with a BFA in Fine Arts. Falina works primarily in oil paints often, “en plein air,” on-scene, from life in a single sitting. She carries her pochade painting tools with her on all her adventures and the wet paintings home. She also renders large studio paintings as time allows, being most recognized for her “Glacier Park” series seen in reproduction products in stores around Glacier National Park and with the Glacier Conservancy within the Park.

“On the Scenic Route”, a collection of Backcountry Plein Air by Falina Lintner is a collection of original oil paintings rendered from life and completed on site in a single sitting. “Backcountry” is considered anywhere it is required the artist to spend overnight(s), go off-trail, go thousands of feet up in elevation and/or just be a little extra hard-to-get to catch the view. All of the locations of the series are local within a 100 mile radius, all reached by foot. Falina approaches plein air as a practice in presence and uses the journey to the vista to achieve the mindset to do it. The results are mementos resonant with spirit of place.

Gina Garlie-“I am an artist living in Northwest Montana. In my art I portray the beauty, resilience, magic, and changing light of the natural world where I feel so at home.  My theme for this series is “Layers of Light” where I honor our fragile, yet resilient earth.  My paintings reflect the time spent in these rich mountain and river landscapes.  My invitation is for you to sit with these paintings and let them reveal and reflect your own deep connection with the elements of earth, water, and sky.”            @ginagarlieart

Susan Fletcher-“I am an oil painter who is inspired by the beauty and mystery of the natural world.  For this show I have focused on clouds.  It is a rewarding challenge to capture the dynamic energy and wonder of mountain clouds.  When I am not hiking, chances are I am gardening.  It’s been a good day when I can look down at my hands and see evidence of paint or dirt under my fingernails!”                    @skystreeme9

Laura Burbine-“The light, shapes, color and atmosphere of our world and my communities are my inspiration, my reason for painting. While walking in the forest, biking through farmland, climbing mountains, or sitting by the ocean I continually find myself in awe. This world of ours is vibrating with energy and movement.  My quest for my paintings is to tell this story, to celebrate this magic. The light, shapes, color and atmosphere of northwest Montana.  Enjoy!”                                                      @burbinelaura

Join us Thursday, August 3rd, 5-8PM for fine art, live music & light refreshments!!  Anchored Roots: Clay and Wood featuring mixed media work by local artist, Holden Roberts.  Live music with Thomas Clark & Natalie Erwin.   

“Tree roots that have a high concentration of clay in their soil are stronger and grip the earth with more stability. Humans are all figuring out their best gripping method to this earth in the most effective way we can. We must rely on an assortment of materials and turn to others for success. Humans are social creatures who search for dynamic and diverse networks of others, but to do so we need a strong rooted anchor within ourselves.”  Holden Roberts

“I grew up in Pittsburgh, which is widely known as the Paris of Appalachia. There, a stark juxtaposition became evident to me from a young age: artificial elements like factories, buildings, and transportation infrastructure amid the deciduous Appalachian forest and its undergrowth. My photography focuses on that contrast, how natural light affects artificial shapes, or how artificial structures affect natural landscapes. I believe in the ubiquity of that natural / artificial interplay, and it follows that exceptional images can come from anywhere.”  Brian Joos
