WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION BY JENNIFER LOWE

"I have a proud affection for Montana as my great-grandparents settled here as ranchers in the 1870s. The open space, diversity of wildlife, and rural lifestyle in Montana are unique and precious. My grandmother who was born and grew up on the ranch loved every wild creature. Wild places like Montana are disappearing around the planet. I want to celebrate them.”

— JENNIFER LOWE

ACCLAIMED BOZEMAN ARTIST AND WRITER JENNIFER LOWE COMBINES THE

LANDSCAPES, ANIMALS, AND PEOPLE OF HER NATIVE MONTANA IN A UNIQUE

PAINTING STYLE THAT IS LIKE NONE OTHER. HER BRIGHT COLORS AND

NEARLY HUMAN-LIKE NATIVE ANIMALS ARE A FIXTURE IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE

COLLECTIONS THROUGHOUT MONTANA, INCLUDING THOSE OF PETER FONDA,

MICHAEL KEATON, AND JEFF BRIDGES, AS WELL AS THE CORPORATE COLLECTIONS

OF PATAGONIA AND CHRONICLE BOOKS. BORN IN MISSOULA, JENNIFER SPENT

PARTS OF HER CHILDHOOD WORKING IN THE FIELDS OF HER GRANDPARENT'S

HOMESTEAD PROPERTY IN MONTANA'S GRASSHOPPER VALLEY. HER PAINTINGS

ARE RENDERED IN THE VIVID COLOR AND RICH TEXTURE OF LIVESTOCK MARKERS

AND CAPTURE THE MEMORIES OF HER MONTANA UPBRINGING. 'WEAPONS OF MASS

DESTRUCTION' FEATURES SOME OF OUR MOST ICONIC WILDLIFE IN A TONGUE-IN-

CHEEK ALLUSION TO NATIONAL POLITICS AND THE BRUCELLOSIS DEBATE.
