Art Talk: 10 Questions with Jennifer French
Friday, March 29th, 5pm
Radius Gallery
Join us as we welcome Billings painter Jennifer French to Missoula.   We're using our popular 10-questions format to launch a conversation about her unique artistic style, historical influences, and her relationship to these wonderful beasts that recur in her works.

Jen's work is part of the current animal-themed exhibit "Bestiarum Vocabulum,"  showing until April 13th.

Last year, Jennifer was able to explore her aesthetic in large scale with an  installation hosted by MSU Billings.
