Conversations with Missoula Artists: Meet Valentina LaPier
By Alexia Beckerling, 8-08-08
Missoula is home to a plethora of artists who express themselves in a variety of media. Alexia Beckerling is venturing into the studios and performance venues of a handful of local artists and bringing back multimedia glimpses into their creative worlds.
This week, meet Valentina LaPier, an enrolled member of the Blackfoot tribe who sold her first painting at the age of 14 and is currently working and exhibiting at the Hanging Art Gallery in Arlee.
Check out previous multimedia profiles of Missoula artists Marcy James, Jason Bohman, Jerry Baldwin and Marty Fromm, and keep your eyes peeled for Alexia’s next installment.
[End of article]Alexia, These installments have been very inspiring. While it seems appropriate for folks in the creative field, I think that folks that don't normally think of themselves as creative (bankers, lawyers) can benefit even more. Having worked in those fields, being able to come up with creative solutions can often set themselves apart from the field.
