Montana calls itself “the last great place,” for you, perhaps this part of the state can be “the next great place.”
Glacier National Park’s wildlife, landscape and views inspire millions of people from around the world to visit each year. They also inspire thousands of artists who attempt to capture that beauty.Thirty miles from West Glacier and the park’s western entrance sits Kalispell, a town of just over 20,000 residents, and home to the Hockaday Museum of Art.
Forty years later, Cawdrey continues finding inspiration from Glacier for her vibrant, eye-popping silk paintings which borrow from a Chinese artistic tradition dating back thousands of years. Her signature large format, colorful bison, moose and bears embody the advice she routinely gives herself and aspiring artists: “be big!”
Every Wednesday from late May through early October, Cypress Yard, the building’s events, wine and lounge tenant hosts the Fresco Market with live music, fine art and great food all served up on a patio adjacent the building. “It’s important to the way I work,” Saubert says of his studio, the material surrounding him being as bona fide as the images he creates.
Saubert is equal parts historian and artist, excelling at both, “fifty years after I’m dead, someone can look and say, ‘it’s right,’ ‘it’s correct.’”Saubert, Cawdrey and every other artist who’s spent extended time in Glacier National Park share animal encounters, some too close for comfort. Anyone who’s been close to one in the wild knows this, and in those moments, the statistics suddenly don’t feel so slim.He was painting on the east side of the park near the popular Many Glacier area with colleagues visiting Montana when they were run into Saubert’s truck by a curious grizzly. The bear appeared to be interested in the artists’ oil paints as it sniffed them thoroughly. Bears are thought to have the greatest sense of smell in the animal kingdom, far more sensitive than bloodhound.
