 .com/\nSince receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing from the Unive
 rsity of Montana in 2017\, Filipino-American International Muralist April 
 Werle has been wall hunting\, ticking countries off her list from the shor
 es of Morocco\, to islands of Malaysia\, the mountains of Montana\, and wa
 lls in between. Werle’s bursting-of-color murals and works on panel offer 
 short narratives inspired by her navigation through her cultural upbringin
 g and travels to foreign places. Her reoccurring characters\, recognized a
 s hand gestures\, existing and interacting within their constructed enviro
 nments\, represent themes of the classic coming-of-age tales\, exploring w
 ho we are and how we navigate through society as we follow our own true id
 entities.\n\nSTELLA NALL\nhttps://www.stellamarieart.com/\nStella Nall is 
 a multimedia artist and poet from Bozeman\, Montana. She graduated from th
 e University of Montana in 2020 with a BA in Psychology and a BFA in Print
 making with a minor in Art History + Criticism\, for which she was elected
  as the Mortar Board outstanding graduate for the School of Visual and Med
 ia Arts. She is a mixed race Indigenous woman\, descendant of the Crow Tri
 be. Her work has been featured in Scribendi Literature and Arts Magazine a
 nd she is the 2020 recipient of the Western Regional Honors Council Award 
 for Visual Art. Her work lives in numerous public and private collections\
 , including The Montana Museum of Art and Culture and the Smithsonian Nati
 onal Museum of the American Indian.\n\nWILLOW KIPP\nOkii Niitakaiks (Hello
  friends) My name is Willow Kipp. I come from the Blackfeet and Shoshone-B
 annock tribes. I have a Bachelors of Arts degree in Native American Studie
 s and Environmental Studies from University of Montana. I currently attend
  IAIA (Institute of American Indian Arts). I am a multifaceted artist and 
 pride my skills in being rooted and grounded in my culture. I hope to resp
 ectfully represent my tribes and cultural knowledge through my art. Every 
 color and every symbol in my designs are carefully picked with the hopes t
 o inspire love\, bring comfort\, represent my people and most importantly\
 , honor all of creation. \n\nCRISTINA MARIAN\nhttps://www.cristinamarian.c
 om/\nOriginally from Romania\, Cristina Marian moved to the United States 
 in 2013. In Bozeman\, Montana\, she divides her time between working in th
 e studio\, exhibiting her artwork and teaching. Throughout her life\, Mari
 an often found herself on the edge of vulnerability\, in which her feeling
  of belonging to one place was often replaced by the sense of living in co
 nstant movement\, unpredictable spaces and states of unknown. “’Permanent 
 Transitional Being’ is the expression that best describes my personal circ
 umstances\,” Marian says. Moving by herself at the end of 8th grade from t
 he countryside to a city of two million in order to study art\, losing her
  home to a fire\, witnessing the violent Romanian Revolution\, living betw
 een two divergent political regimes and later emigrating to the U.S.\, all
  contributed to the feeling of permanent transition. These experiences hav
 e a strong influence on her artwork.\n\nMarian’s work has been exhibited i
 n Romania\, Austria\, France\, Israel\, Senegal and the U.S. At the moment
  she has work at the Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings\, and two public m
 urals and one sculpture at Tinworks 2020 in Bozeman. Neither Here Nor Ther
 e is her most recent solo show\, now on display at Story Mill\, in Bozeman
 .\n\nABOUT THE FEELING WELCOME MURAL ALLEY PROJECT\nWith the financial sup
 port of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the enthusi
 astic permission of the owners and managers of the building at 201 W Broad
 way (including the Import Market\, the Bodega Bar & Grill\, and Monk's Bar
 )\, the ZACC hired four women artists to each create their own murals in t
 he alley between the ZACC and the Bodega in downtown\, Missoula. Some are 
 complete and some are in progress\, and some will be painted in the spring
  when the weather turns again. We are planning for an outdoor spring publi
 c opening with talks from the artists\, once all the murals have been comp
 leted. \n\nMuralists were tasked to create works on the subject of 'Feelin
 g Welcome'\, and were expected to reach out to traditionally underserved c
 ommunities and disenfranchised Missoula residents and include them in shap
 ing the design.
