where he developed a connection with the
historical landscape. His paintings capture
the beauty of the landscape as the light baths
across the forms that were crated by industry.
His paintings hold the acidic, toxic quality
left after the process of extraction. He has
primarily supported himself through painting
and teaching part-time at the University of
Montana - Western

Gordon McConnell
Bill Drum (deceased)
Michael Blessing

Billings MT

Billings MT
L45
Bozeman MT
Gordon McConnell’s paintings have been
inspired by and derived from western film
images. He’s drawn particularly to the
action scenes of black and white westerns
dating from the late 1930s through the early
1950s. Flying teams of horses, stagecoaches
smothered in sun-struck dust, desperate
bandits on the run, cowboys, cavalry troopers,
and fearless Indians—wild riders all—are
the main subjects in his work. He strives to
capture this furious action and suspend it in a
matrix of dancing paint, to embody something
that is elemental and timeless, animated and
abstract. A shimmering blur of perception,
passion and memory is transposed in an
interchange of gesture and description.
Bill Drum was born and raised in Miles
City. He attended Cornell University, the
University of Montana, and the American
Graduate
School
for
International
Management. He lived and worked in Sao
Paulo, Brazil, Mexico City, New York and
California. Bill’s found steel comes from
Montana salvage yards, some of which date
back fifty to hundred years. Each sculpted
figure is individually done and matchless. The unique colors and patinas of the steel
result from decades of exposure to blistering
summers and frigid winters in Montana.
Michael Blessing spent his formative years
in rural Montana, surrounded by the land,
the people, and the usual conglomeration of
machinery. After pursuing a Master’s degree
in Music Arts, he spent the next thirty years
owning and running two recording studios
and working in the music industry in the areas
of performance, production, and engineering.

acrylics. Using wood panels and canvas.
Western and Wildlife are her main focus. Her
daily surroundings are abundant with these. The most pleasure she gets with painting
is painting animals with attitude. Western
themes from re- enactments that reflect
the 1800s are a huge part of her paintings. There is nothing more meaningful then being
surrounded by the past and present of that
life. “Deep souls, hard work and much love”.

Pam Little has always been attracted to the
light in a landscape, and quite often just
looking out at the alpenglow outside her
home office window, or the variations of
light in the trees during the different seasons
offers many incentives for creating art. Pam
finds inspiration in wildlife around her home
in Hamilton and national parks. She has
taken several excellent art workshops at the

of 1934. Her early years were spent on Long
Island and in South Carolina on a plantation.
Neltje moved with her children to a ranch in
Wyoming from an apartment on Park Avenue
in New York City. Neltje creates because
she is driven to define moments, emotional
responses to the natural world, and the chaos
that seems to be life’s breath. Her passions,
fierce and demanding, compel her to forge a
whole of reverie and reality. Bruce Park has been drawing, painting and
printmaking for over 35 years and achieved
a BFA in drawing and an MFA in painting. His professional art career began in 1986

her passion for culture, art and film generates
Stacy’s photography exploration.
Peter D’Ascoli
Elliot Eaton
Calli Nissen
S41 & S22
Miles City MT
Ideas conscious and unconscious are
important. Peter likes to imagine that
his artistic endeavors are intuitive,
bubbling up from the unconscious
parts of him, revealing things he barely know about his self. Some of that
is true. S He is drawn to form and
forming, there is little as centering
as getting ones hands in clay. Knowing that a pot “sings” with the glaze
that is applied, he now pays more attention to the glass covering of these
objects. And he currently likes RED! And yes, the chop is a snake.
