Allen Jimmerson exhibit captures the South Fork

The Great South Fork exhibit by award-winning artist Allen Jimmerson comes to Phillips Gallery. 

Recognized as one of the leading wildlife painters in Montana, Jimmerson captures breathtaking western landscapes, enhancing their natural light to create an exquisite scene of the local mountains.  

“I grew up in Columbia Falls, my hometown, mom and dad would take us kids up to Hungry Horse Reservoir fishing back in the ’60s and ’70s. This started my love for the South Fork. Fishing for Cutthroat and Mountain Whitefish. Then picking Huckleberries, cutting firewood and hunting elk. Great Northern Mountain was usually always in view. These places are a big part of my life. Being an artist, I always paint from my life’s experiences. So the paintings in this exhibit are the result of my time spent up The Great South Fork,” Jimmerson said.
