"Colors of the Mountain West"

Growing up in rural Eastern Idaho, Lisa Bower enjoyed an amazing childhood with Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons as her playgrounds. While there is such majesty in these national parks, the fields and foothills are just as remarkable for the beauty they hold for the featured artist the month of August and serve as an inspiration for her show. "Art is an experience that can be relived every time you look at it," says Bower. Come and see for yourself the beauty of our surroundings captured in these wonderful oil paintings August 1st through the 30th, 2025.
