The Artists’ Gallery in the Emerson Cultural Center will feature the work of Carol Barmore, Kevin Heaney, and Carmen Stanislao during the month of August.  The show will include a featured artist reception as part of the Bozeman Downtown Art Walk.


Carol Barmore works in oils, and believes that painting has the power to bring us into an intimate encounter with beauty and touch places within us we didn’t realize existed.  She takes inspiration from nature, finding an endless supply of material to work with in the visual paradise of Montana, often right in her own backyard.  Barmore enjoys painting the landscape, but has also recently fallen in love with depicting farm animals, wildlife, and people.  She feels a divine presence when she paints, and hopes to express that in her work.

As a fifth generation Montanan, Kevin Heaney works to capture the magic of the old west and its people.  His paintings and drawings capture his mining and pioneer heritage, as well as his love for the beauty of the natural landscape.  He has spent thirty years traveling the western states and recreating ghost towns in his pieces.  Heaney’s work has been featured in numerous publications and juried exhibitions, including Montana Outdoors Magazine, and the Juried International Railroad Expo in Carson City, Nevada.



Carmen believes that the durability, strength and plasticity of bronze, as well as the many beautiful patinas it can take on, make it the perfect medium for her. The most recognizable aspect of her sculptures is her attention to detail.  Her latest sculpture, “Ridgeback” will be on display this month.

The Art Walk reception will be held Friday, August 14th.  Please join us in celebrating these three featured artists, and enjoy wine and refreshments from 5:00pm-8:00pm.
