Jay Contway & Friends Art Show Schedule
Mitch, a metalworker, handles most of the surface
preparation, such as cutting and smoothing a 1965 Ford
pickup truck hood to have it fit inside two old wagon
wheels, for example. That's when Cathryn jumps in with
her palette and brushes, creating exquisite wildlife and
landscape scenes, many of which focus on the land
and people of the northeast Montana plains. Antique
maps, fabrics, and old ceiling tiles are also among the
variety of upcycled surfaces Cathryn has used to create
her artwork.
Visitors will also have an opportunity to view the
magnificent work of Dawn Sievers, who paints captivating
western wildlife and landscapes on silk using an ancient
Asian dying process.
"I believe people will come just to gather and
remember, and then they will look around and see what's
new," Lynn explains. "I think we will have an upbeat show
even though Jay is not with us. He is a cherished memory."
In addition to viewing Contway's work, visitors to the
show will have an opportunity to record video tributes to
share their memories and stories about him.
