Art Opening: Kathryn Schmidt: Paintings on Paper & Jennifer Indreland Miniature Assemblages & Paintings

Kathryn Schmidt: Paintings on Paper & Jennifer Indreland Miniature Assemblages & Paintings
February 7 – March 27, 2025
Opening reception: Friday, February 7, 5–9 pm (during ArtWalk) with delicious bites by Chef Ashley Woodward.

Kathryn Schmidt: Paintings on Paper with Jennifer Indreland Miniature Assemblages & Paintings will feature new paintings by Kathryn Schmidt in juxtaposition with new small works by Jennifer Eli Indreland featured on our shelves.

Kathryn Schmidt is a Bozeman-based painter who has been creating figurative and narrative work for over 40 years that reflects on the mysteries of the world and human beings. A grounded respect for nature paired with intimations of our climate-changed world are hallmarks of her practice.
These small, mostly black and white paintings on paper, never before shown, are many things: observed rock formations, first takes on a new idea for a painting and stand alone images reflecting the solitude and wandering mind quality of the studio. All things happen there when the world falls away.

Jennifer Indreland is a Billings artist whose nomadic early years drew her back to Montana to be near the ranch that has been in her family for generations. Her work is influenced by folk tales, medieval art, and the strange beauty found in the darker corners of history. This exhibition features surreal depictions of the animal kingdom in the form of miniature assemblages and paintings.
