Justin Anthony; Sculpter; His art is the result of years of hunting, gathering, dismantling, and assembling.

Brad Bunkers; Acrylic on Canvass, Livingston Montana; Through art Brad Bunkers surveys the elemental emotions found within the human experience. Distorted contours, blank, mask-like faces, and engaging gestures convey subtle but intense emotions. By mimicking the composition of amateur photography, an intimacy is created between the subject and the viewer, which is direct and at times awkward. The characters in the paintings are archetypal, lacking distinct features and individual definition, at the same time reminding the viewer of a specific person or place. Site contains samples of his work. See his work at the Danforth Gallery in Livingston, Montana.

Alana Hastings; Original Watar Colors and Oil Paintings. Most of her paintings, especially the watercolors, depict flowers. She likes to paint soft colors because these colors are soothing to the eye. Her oil paintings display stronger hues of color.
