What Lies Beneath
Maggy Rozycki Hiltner
February 8 - April 26, 2019
Maggy Rozycki Hiltner searches antique shops, thrift stores, and yard sales for embroidered linens, collecting the brightly colored flowers, foliage, and animals that appear in her work. What she cannot find she hand-stitches and mixes in with the collected embroidery. She uses the familiarity of the stitch along with seemingly lighthearted and cheerful designs to convey more serious subject matter. She often uses humor and Dick and Jane-style characters to tell her stories, and very rarely is everything quite what it seems.
Weaver Room Gallery
"PRIMER Blocking the Subconscious"
Gabriel Anthony Schmitt
February 1 - March 29, 2019
"I create physical things but my ongoing work as an artist is very conceptual process... and to circumvent what I believe to be 'cliche' I certainly follow what I feel is a righteous path of creation. Some work I am very happy with, some becomes examples of decision making and... my life choices. Thereby I am recycling images, graffiti, paint, and materials to find almost machine-like shapes expressions."
Lobby Gallery
Of Dreams
Tory Elena
February 8 - April 26, 2019
"Artist; [noun] A prime specimen of the deconstructed construction of the continuously implosive explosion." -Tory Elena
Tory Elena is an artist whose work is a snapshot of visions born from her dreams of night and day. As a painter, illustrator, graphic designer, and sculptor - art expands beyond a career to her very way of life. Bridging the worlds of sight and sound, Tory Elena explores synesthesia as drummer, singer, and composer in the band Sea At Last.
All of our galleries are free and open to the public.

INSIDE THE EMERSON |

Support the Emerson At the Emerson, we are grateful for the generous community support that allows us to serve as a vital arts hub in Bozeman. Over 250,000 people have come to the Emerson each year to attend performances, take classes, and participate in community events.  |
