I love observing, learning and wondering about wildlife of all kinds. I’m especially interested in human-animal similarities and connections. What does it feel like to be a bighorn sheep, a chipmunk, a bumblebee? I’m also drawn to botanical-inspired surface patterns, which can suggest human's separateness from nature as well as our longing to be one with it. My most visceral love is for flowers. Spending time looking at them closely floods me with peace and wonder. Their symbolism is central to my world view that life is beautiful largely because it is so fleeting. Conceptually I am interested in the garden as a bridge between the human and natural worlds.— Kaetlyn Able Kaetlyn Able grew up in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts.

Crista Ann Ames

Crista Ann Ames is a ceramic and mixed media sculptor. Through the layering mythological and contemporary iconography, Crista questions familiar feminine tropes in art and art history. The sculptures she creates re-examine classic sculpture while re-imagining historic narratives and symbolism. Raised on a small hobby farm in Washington State, Crista often draws on her own experiences when exploring pastoral life and the gap between myth and lived experience, resulting in altogether new stories and feminine monuments that tell contemporary truths of trauma, joy, and womanhood. Crista attended Washington State University where she obtained her BFA in Ceramics with a minor in Art History and Disability Studies. While receiving her MFA from the University of Montana Crista began studying dance and movement to help inform the way she sculpts the figure. She has been an artist in residence and exhibited at A.I.R. Valluaris in France, Guldagergaard International Ceramics Research Center in Denmark, the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT, The Clay Studio of Missoula, Santa Fe Art Institute, Red Lodge Clay Center and Gallery One Visual Arts Center. Crista is currently a studio artist living in Ellensburg, Washington.

Britta Anderson

My paintings explore space and movement through scenic imagery. I tend to eschew location-specific reference points, opting to focus on up-close, edge-to-edge perspectives of rolling hills, crashing waves and luminous clouds that erupt in the sky. I am continuously trying to expand, examine and capture my relationship to the outdoors, and to express the intimacy I have with its elements. My hope is that viewers will engage the paintings as portals of the imagination, stepping through and feeling suspended in a moment, bringing to the experience their own associations and memories. — Brita Anderson Britta Anderson is a full-time painter with a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a BFA in Studio Art/Art Education from Minnesota State University Moorhead. Traditionally trained, she combines ideas and techniques from 19th-century Romanticism with contemporary approaches to landscape. Her solo show Recourse: Scapes by Britta Anderson opened at the Plains Art Museum in late 2022, and her work has been the subject of numerous other exhibitions across the Midwest and Southeast. Her paintings appear in private and corporate collections throughout the United States.

Adrian Arleo

For 40 years, my sculpture has combined human, animal and natural  imagery to create a kind of emotional and poetic power. Often there's  suggestion of a vital interconnection between the human and non human realms; the imagery arises from associations, concerns and  obsessions that are at once intimate and universal. The work frequently references mythology and archetypes in addressing our  vulnerability amid changing personal, environmental, and political realities. By focusing on older, more mysterious ways of seeing the  world, edges of consciousness and deeper levels of awareness suggest themselves.— Adrian Arleo Adrian Arleo has spent the last three decades living and working as a full-time sculptor in Lolo, Montana, with her family and a menagerie of  animals. She was born in NY and spent many years on both coasts  before making Montana home. Adrian studied Art and Anthropology at Pitzer College and received her MFA in ceramics from Rhode Island  School of Design. She has been an artist-in-residence at Oregon College  of Art and Craft, at Sitka Center For Art and Ecology, and at the Jordan Schnitzer  Printmaking Residency (also at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology). Adrian’s work is exhibited nationally and internationally, and appears in numerous public, private and museum collections. She received  awards from the Virginia A. Groot Foundation in 1991 and 1992, and in 1995 was awarded a Montana Arts Council Individual Fellowship.  Her work has been widely published in books, magazines, and on the internet. Adrian is a frequent workshop instructor across the US and  abroad, and enjoys teaching courses on figurative ceramic sculpture.
