About Kathryn Schmidt:
Kathryn Schmidt is a Bozeman-based artist whose work has become well-recognized throughout the Montana contemporary art scene. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions throughout the state, including shows at the Holter in 2010 and 2012. She received the Montana Arts Council Innovation Award in 2012. A snippet from her artist statement reads, “I am still interested in the mysteries of the world, the ultimate things and am always looking for the delivering image. My almost 40 years in Montana’s powerful landscape has had an impact, but more than rendering physical description, I use the landscape as an arena for psychological and emotional takes on the world. Even I don’t exactly know how the combinations of things come about in my paintings but the best ones have an air of inevitability about them. There are many ‘travel’ pieces, travel representing any kind of exploration – new locations, new ideas – and now my concerns are climate change and our fraught relationship to the natural world.”
Don’t miss this chance to hear a beloved Montana artist speak about her work!
