Upcoming Exhibition: Emotional Landscapes
First Friday, June 6, 2025
Pop-Up Gallery at The Wren Hotel | 201 E Main St, Missoula | 5–7pm
Inspired by years of witnessing and capturing luminous sunrises and sunsets through my window, yard, and surroundings, Emotional Landscapes is an observation of light, contrasts, beauty, and the inner journey.
Each painting reflects not just the changing sky—but the shifting landscapes within: moments of stillness, resilience, and quiet becoming.
This collection includes a few small studies, in the various mediums I play with—reflections of my inner and outer worlds, told through light, shadow, color, and words.
The exhibit will be located in the conference room of The Wren Hotel in downtown Missoula and will remain on view through the end of July 2025.

"My wife and I ONLY purchase contemporary HORSE art. After 36 years, we have a fun collection. Yours will be added to horse art items by Leroy Neiman, Peter Max, Roy Lichenstein (sp), Dennis d'Angelo, and others...even a small Picasso item. " ~Ken H.
"Ivette! I LOVE THE ENCAUSTIC PAINTINGS! They are going to fit perfectly in the space I had planned for them. I will send you pictures when we get them hung. Now I want a big one. Thank you! thank you!" ~Debbie T.
