Adalein (she/her) sells her paintings as greeting cards in the ZACC artist shop. 

"I'm an 11-year old, 5th grader in Missoula. I love to paint! I started painting with a mentor in 2019. In addition to painting, I enjoy competitive sports - basketball and soccer, and playing the piano. One day while I was riding on Van Buren Street in Missoula, I saw a mural at the roundabouts and thought that is a very cool job to get paid to do. I hope they enjoyed painting it and I would like to do that some day. I had an art show at the ZACC in May 2022. I would like to have more art shows, and one day do murals, but you have to start somewhere. I could never have had this painting opportunity without my neighbor and painting mentor, Richard Opper's, help."   -Adalein Stokman

April Werle (she/they) sells stickers and greeting cards in the ZACC artist shop.

April Werle is a mixed Cebuano American artist and muralist, and the daughter of a Pinay immigrant. Werle is known for creating artworks that explore the intersections of identity, place, and culture. Hand gestures play a significant cultural role in Werle’s work. The gesture of amin, or mano po, is a Filipino practice of paying respects to elders through physical touch. The act of amin involves touching the elder’s hand to one’s forehead to receive blessings. By making hands the subjects of her work, she recognizes and emphasizes the importance of hands as givers of wisdom. April Werle is also a cultural advocate. She is passionate about uplifting Filipino and BIPOC communities through art. Werle has founded the BIPOC Arts Advisory Council, BIPOC Student Mural Program, and has partnered with Filipino American brands and organizations like Filipina American News and Kuyate.

The work is often whimsical taking from Bryce's reverence for nature and inspiration from the Montana landscape in which he was raised.

They hope to discover a place for their art within nature in an increasingly industrialized world.

Courtney Blazon (she/her) sells stickers, prints, pins, art books, tote bags, greeting cards, and more in the ZACC Artist Shop. 

Blazon draws intricate narratives that are layered with symbolism and meaning—in particular, issues surrounding women and the complexities of women’s lives throughout history. Blazon draws influence from the natural world; literature, mythology and fairytales; societal expectations and coming-of-age issues, and leans into humor, irony and symbolism to create involved stories that are woven together and are not always what they appear to be upon first glance.

Daantje Fenijn-Spofford sells her unique handmade earrings and woven purses in the ZACC artist shop.

"I draw my inspiration from various places. My home country The Netherlands, childhood memories, the multi-culture neighborhood that I lived in later in life and all my travels. I have always been interested in creating unique items. As a young teen, I made earrings of just about anything and bought the craziest earrings on festivals. Over the last year, I decided to go back to that creative person and start making fun items again. I keep being inspired so my work will always go with whatever catches my eye. No pair of earrings will ever be identical, same with the purses or whatever else starts forming in my head. 
I hope you enjoy the journey, I never know where it brings me."

Dani Turner (she/her) sells stickers in the ZACC Artist Shop.

"Inspired by nature, myths, and history, I explore a combination of these themes in my artwork. Growing up on the Hi-Line in Northeastern Montana gave me a love of landscapes, creatures, and particularly their connection to stories. I enjoy portraying witch’s familiars in particular, and their relationship as accomplices and curses. Primarily working in water-based painting mediums, I occasionally screen-print, sculpt, and felt as a way of exploring my ideas. I currently live in Missoula with my sweet pooch Lulu, navigating the local trails and wondering at the small lichen on tree stumps."     - Dani Turner

Denise Nelson (she/her) sells, earrings, embroidered necklaces and bags, and candle holders in the ZACC artist shop.

"I love different mediums most recently fiber, wood, and water. I hand embroider items and use scrap wood to create others. I also water marble (which is traditionally called 'Ebru' and done with paper). I love being creative and have a need to always be making something."

Erin Johnson (she/her) sells adorable corgi stickers and laser-etched magnets in the ZACC Artist Shop.

"I am an illustrator, mixed media artist, and freelance graphic designer. I have always loved storytelling, whether it be small and ridiculous or epic and sacred, it has always been a way I have found connection with others and the world around me. I have a mixed background both in heritage and art. I am a person that has always had the need to know more regardless of the truth. I have struggled a lot with ascribed identity and chronic disease – the result being the desire to either find meaning or humor in situations, sometimes both. With the traumas of the recent past and present, I just want to give others a small reprieve from that world and this is how I try to do it. By being silly and unapologetically my authentic self and sharing that through my work."    -Erin Johnson

Addison McClellan (she/her) sells handmade polymer clay earrings in the ZACC Artist Shop

"I'm Addy and I'm the person behind Gum Ball Drop Shop. I've been making polymer clay earrings for around three-ish years now. I've always liked making things with my hands so once I discovered that making polymer clay jewelry was a thing, I got to creating. I just recently started high school, and doing this gives me a break from school life. I've lived in Missoula my whole life and I love it here. I've always been the kid that travels but Missoula is my home. One of the many reasons I started selling my earrings at the ZACC is so I can “fund” all my artistic hobbies while also supporting a place I have always loved and appreciated for what they do for Missoula and our community."

Nancy Wahlstrom (she/her) sells unique glass pieces that utilized repurposed materials. 

"My business name is shards, splinters because most every piece I create has a repurposed frame, scrap stained glass (some is from stained glass windows salvaged from demolition and some has been packed around for 40-50 years in boxes, crates, and drawers stored in garages, attics, basements and sheds), cast off jewels from broken, usually but not always, costume jewelry, and my heart. Some of the pieces I love so much, I have kept them, but had them printed up into placemats, tote bags, and pillows. This year (2022) two of my pieces were in our own Missoula fair, one winning a second and the other a grand prize ribbon. My 'Leaping into the Weekend' was a piece auctioned for Rhino preservation in Africa. My work is in Ohio, Oregon, California, Nevada, Alabama, England and Australia. I do commissioned work, and you can select colors and frames from my collection or bring your own. You can see much of my work on Instagram."      -Nancy Wahlstrom

Stella Nall (she/her) sells stickers and prints in the ZACC artist shop.

"As an artist, I am driven by three primary forces: to process my experiences, to connect with others, and to advocate for change. I am Apsáalooke, and as a child, my mother first exposed me to art through her beadwork. The stitches, palettes and patterns she used, as well as those of our tribe, influence my work today. Some of the imagery that I use is drawn from tradition, and some I developed to speak to my own experiences. I love to use vibrant colors to illustrate whimsical, sweet, imaginary creatures which tell a story. My work often contains humor, as I think laughter is a great way to bring people together."

Steve Slocomb (he/him) sells his photo print greeting cards in the ZACC artist shop.

"I have been taking photographs for 52 years, starting with Sonny and Cher in 1970, then at Charles Eames Design, the 1984 Olympic games, various motion pictures, and tons of nature photography and Bannack ghost town."
