Work of MACK and Geri Ward featured at The Artists’ Gallery in the Emerson Cultural Center

The Artists’ Gallery in the Emerson Cultural Center will feature the work of MACK and Geri Ward during the month of December.  The show will include a Featured Artist Reception where you can meet the artists and share a glass of wine.


Ward says that "The act of painting usually takes me where it wants to go, not necessarily where I thought I was going with it. This kind of surprise and discovery is what keeps painting alive and original for me, as well as for my collectors".  Ward has been painting and exhibiting her luminous and inventive work in Bozeman since she and her family moved here from the San Francisco Bay area in 1974.

MACK's art reflects her Alaskan upbringing, love of the West, Mountains and Water. All of her art is bright and whimsical, seeking the positive and often a good laugh.  Most of her work focuses on characters who are multi-ethnic to represent the world family we all belong to and are loosely based on Yup'ic Eskimo masks from her childhood, as well as ethnic influences from around the world and the American West/Northwest. MACK is always looking to pay tribute to the under-represented, putting their attributes on full and joyful display!

Come see the artwork and meet its makers at the Featured Artist Reception in The Artists’ Gallery, Friday, December 12th from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
