Kris Larson, Nan Parsons & MJ Williams

The Art Mine is delighted to show the work of these three local artists. The opening on May 2, an evening of art, conversation, good food and drink. If you are new to the Art Mine this will be a lovely opportunity to visit.

Kris Larson worked as a geographer for 30 years. While many encaustic painters strive to create a smooth surface, Kris loves color and texture and often makes a painting with dozens of layers of wax paint. She regularly incorporates old maps, historic magazines, and other pieces of paper.

Nan Parsons: “October I was in upstate NY painting watercolor outside with a good friend, colleague and former Montana Artists Refuge resident, Laura Taylor. A glorious time in all respects. The oil paintings (inspired by the NY experience) now showing at
the Art Mine were painted on my return to Basin.”

MJ Williams loves to paint with watercolors en plain air. In winter she has to resort to her kitchen table.
