Aubrey received her BA in Studio Art & Environmental Studies from Oberlin College\, and her MS in Environmental Studies: Sustainable Food and Farming from the Universit y of Montana.

The Pacific Northwest has alw ays been home to them\, having also lived in Boise\, Idaho and Bellingham\ , Washington. The latter is where Haldi really interested in pursuing a li fe full of paint. Something about rainy days spent inside forced the artis t to reflect on issues pertaining to identity\, specifically\, what it mea ns to exist in such boundless perimeters while simultaneously experiencing societal constraints\, norms\, and unspoken rules.\n\nAs a non-binary\, q ueer\, and neurodivergent person\, navigating the self and its response to given environments is an overarching investigation in Haldi’s paintings. More specifically\, they are asking broad questions: “What does it mean to be me at this intersection? What does it mean to be you at yours?” Haldi has been a contributor to the arts scene in Missoula since 2015\, exhibiti ng solo and in group settings and working in arts settings like Zootown Ar ts Community Center and The Montana Museum of Art and Culture.\n\nHaldi as pires to sustain a lifelong journey as a practicing artist.\n X-WR-RELCALID:8239844210cc85c600402887ff437bf2 X-WR-TIMEZONE:America/Denver BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Denver BEGIN:STANDARD TZNAME:MST DTSTART:20201101T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 RDATE:20211107T020000 RDATE:20221106T020000 END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT TZNAME:MDT DTSTART:20210314T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 RDATE:20220313T020000 END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE BEGIN:VEVENT UID:41588fb8-b832-42ca-9313-9cacd0b71c5a DTSTAMP:20261106T004459Z DESCRIPTION:Opening First Friday\, August 6\, 5-8 PM / Exhibiting in the Ma in Gallery through August\n\nVisit in-person during open hours: MON-SAT 10 AM to 6 PM\, SUN 12 PM to 4 PM\nOr browse and shop online via our Virtual Gallery beginning Tuesday\, August 9: https://www.zootownarts.org/shows-e vents/galleries/virtual-gallery.html\n\n*This show contains mature content which could be triggering.
