Carol Hartman’s artwork will be on display at the Plaza Diane from Aug. 18- Sept. 13.

An opening reception with Hartman will be at the Plaza Diane Thursday, Aug. 18 from 7-8:30 p.m. Hartman will also be in the gallery Saturday, Aug. 20 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

According to an artist bio provided by the Plaza Diane, Hartman was born and raised near Brockton, Montana, along the Missouri River. After graduating high school, Hartman attended Montana State University Bozeman and then California State University Fresno. Hartman taught at the latter and her work was exhibited both nationally and internationally over the years. She came back to Montana in 2009 to paint full time.

Hartman employs “personal interpretations” of history’s effect on the West which allows “more expressiveness in her paintings.”

“If you see a small RV trailer with ‘Painters on the Fly’ written on it traveling along the Missouri River and the Oregon Trail, it just might be me,” Hartman wrote in the bio.
