Gallery Artists

Jillian Seng is an artist and high school art educator based in Eureka, originally from Pennsylvania. She abstracts landscapes in an expressionistic way, showing off color and geometric shapes. Jillian loves adventure. Her paintings tell a story; the feeling of summiting mountains, sleeping under a glacier, walking through fields of flowers, or enduring the unpredictable (and sometimes unforgiving) weather or terrain mother nature provides on bikepacking trips.

Working across multiple mediums including oil, watercolor, and ceramics, Jillian’s practice is driven by a desire to document and interpret experience through her art. She is also a family photographer, further extending her storytelling in other forms.

Earthstones Pottery, made in Trego, is small-batch pottery that reflects the colors and life on Earth. Using unique techniques and designs originally crafted by Karin Lamb (of Eureka, MT), Casey Fuson is carrying on the legacy of Earthstones and continuing to add new designs to the extensive collection.

Casey is a community partner who wears many hats: a kids program director, mom, musician, artist, and famous for her ability to multitask (maybe). She has been making pottery in her 120-year-old cabin studio since 2019, and hopes to get back to doing pottery more consistently "when life slows down"...

Lachelle Davis-Monnett is a watercolor painter, ceramic artist, educator, yogi, and outdoor enthusiast who grew up in the Flathead Valley. In contrast with how light and playful she is in making art, she finds a lot of profound conclusions in her work. In her watercolor paintings, she often uses color and shape to illustrate emotions and psychological concepts. She says that these paintings are some sort of interaction between abstract expressionism and graphic sensibility. Her stoneware work is mostly done in her mom's ceramics studio. Being rarely alone in the ceramics studio makes the pottery wheel a place of sharing and connection.

Jenna Steiner is a wife, mother and Doctor of Chiropractic in Eureka. When she isn’t working with patients or spending time with family, you’ll find her in the kitchen, cross country skiing, or working on a project with her husband.

Art projects were an important outlet for her while pursuing her masters and doctoral degrees. Her work is inspired by her close-knit family of artists, especially her grandmother, stained glass artist, Barbara Pitman, and her husband Max, her frame-maker. Her childhood art studies with Wanda Mumm were formative and a joy that has stuck with her all these years.

Tarek is a printmaker based in Whitefish, Montana. He makes watercolor painted linocut prints inspired by nature. His prints are hand carved, hand pressed and hand painted in small batches making each and every one unique. 

Tarek's prints are detailed depictions from his adventures which help him, and the audience, slow down and focus on the nuances, not just walk past them. His artwork highlights native plants in their natural environments by using printmaking techniques with pops of watercolors. 

Ben Johnson likes bikes. Someone once told Ben “it’s not hoarding if it’s cool shit.” Thus, Ben has quite a hoard “collection” of “cool” bikes and parts. Ben enjoys riding bikes, tinkering on bikes, and finding new uses for old parts that have been retired from their lives on the road or trail. Ben has a collection of bicycles built for rambling around dirt trails and roads, with a nod towards utility, durability, and aesthetic.

Inspired by the classic and steel frame era mountain bikes of his childhood, these pieces  explore the utility of the bicycle with a slight twist. Ben grew up in Montana's Bitterroot Valley and now calls the Flathead Valley home.

Lucia Schermerhorn has been a multimedium artist for her entire life, but no art form has inspired the same level of love and admiration as crochet. Now approaching her third year as a crochet artist, Lucia’s ideas and passion continue to grow with time. Lucia began by making hats and tank tops using patterns found online, but about a year into her crochet journey, she discovered tapestry crochet: a turning point in their practice. There is something endlessly satisfying to Lucia about watching an image come to life, created entirely from yarn, a crochet hook, and her own two hands.

My work is whimsical, emerging from a deep reverence for the natural world and the unseen forces that move through it. Guided by intuition and a spiritual undercurrent, my ideas arrive like dreams—fleeting, vivid, and full of possibility. The unknown plays an essential role in my art-making, offering space for mystery, curiosity, and surrender. 

I allow the work to unfold organically, trusting what cannot always be explained, only felt. Through this process, I seek to honor wonder, play, and the subtle, sacred connections that bind us to nature and to one another. I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and now live in Montana with my husband and my wiggle-butt Aussie Shepherd, Willow, where the landscape continues to shape and inspire my practice.

Andrea Vissotzky is a plein air artist based in northwest Montana and an active member of the Plein Air Painters of the Flathead Valley. With a degree in graphic design and years of experience in marketing and advertising, she captures the dramatic light, atmospheres, and rugged beauty of the Flathead Valley, Glacier National Park, and landscapes from her travels across the USA in oils and watercolors. Her work invites viewers to experience the quiet wonder and fragility of the American landscape.  She is continually inspired by this land’s layered history.  Her work honors that connection, seeking to convey the spirit of these places with honesty and reverence. Through color, value, and gesture, she aims to invite viewers into the experience of being fully present in nature—reminding us of its power, fragility, and profound capacity for renewal.  Her passions have always been the wide open skies, the depth of colors in the grasses, and the play of light and shadows in the deep forest.  Andrea hopes that you experience these through her art.
