In that Still Moment: DG House art exhibit opens at Hockaday — preview reception planned Jan. 11

An exhibit titled, In that Still Moment, featuring new work from Montana indigenous artist DG House, will be on display at the Hockaday Museum of Art.

The exhibit, which features 20 new paintings, captures the wonder and majesty of the Yellowstone and Grand Teton ecosystem in House’s energized style and will be on display Jan. 12 through March 23.

House, who is enrolled in the Cherokee Tribe of Northeast Alabama, pays homage to indigenous people of the past and present through images of wildlife and references to indigenous patterns and people. Using multiple layers of water-based oil, acrylics, pastels, and colored pencils, House imbues her subjects with rich personalities and portrays her reverence for the animals and denizens of Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Her depictions of Rocky Mountain wildlife and First Peoples are warm, welcoming and charming, according to a press release.
