LIFE ON THE HIGH LINE

I’m incredibly grateful and honored to have been selected to create an art series for Central Park in downtown Cut Bank.
A special thank you to Lisa Cline for this wonderful opportunity, the MSU Community Vitality Reimagining Rural Program for funding this project and Rod Cline for his invaluable help with the installation and labor.
This series titled “Life on the High Line” was inspired by what I feel are some of the foundations of our community. Growing up here and returning after 30 years, I’m still amazed by the beauty of the wheat fields that surround Cut Bank in all directions., the herds of cattle scattered across the landscape and the endless opportunities for camping, exploring and day trips to Glacier National Park.
A barn-door painting class with artist Cheri Olson Peterson helped spark the inspiration for this series. I also incorporated elements influenced by this year’s Cut Bank First Friday Art Dumpster Project particularly its use of Geometric shapes and patterns.
It has been a meaningful experience to bring together my memories the character of our community and the landscape that makes this place special. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute something creative to the heart of downtown Cut Bank and hope this series brings a little more color and connection to Central Park.
Thank you to everyone who helped make
“ Life on the High Line “ possible!

Our final class in 2026 season Cut Bank First Friday, thank you Chelsey Brown and Cut Bank School Cut Bank adult education program has concluded this evening. It is always a pleasure to share creativity and innovative ideas. Tonight's Gelli plate printing and negative space painting was an incredible experience to teach. Witnessing the progression of these abstract florals, as well as watch the freedom that comes with letting go and trusting the art-making process is magical. Here are a few snapshots from the evening. Thank you for the partnership with Cut Bank Marketplace on Main for inviting us to host classes and a great season creating art. We will see you all this fall with new classes to offer and keep creating! Have a wonderful summer.

We have had another outstanding evening of creativity. Several of our artists experienced meditative art for the first time and departed with a sense of calm and relaxation, as well as a new means of promoting self-care. Thank you, Cut Bank First Friday Cut Bank Marketplace on Main, and Cut Bank Adult Education program, for allowing me to be a part of this creative outlet. Here are a few moments from last night.
