FEATURED ARTIST

Please join us in welcoming our newest partner member and featured artist John Roberts. John is showing new work from the past three years which includes the beautiful landscapes and nature of Montana.

I relish the infinite possibility of that first mark on a canvas. I enjoy the chaos of the middle painting when I wonder if I should throw the whole thing in the trash. I savor the coalescing surprise of the final touches and the moment I can say, “It’s done.” For me the journey is as important as the destination and the process is as important as the final result. In that I find peace. –John Roberts

ABOUT DICK

Susan Leaverton - Guest Artist
2023-11-01 - 2023-11-25
Weaving is very contemplative. The process focuses one’s thoughts, through repetitive manual motions. I use only quality fibers, primarily natural wool, cotton, silk, and linen. I like to consider my work straight-forward and honest. Nothing is computer generated. Sometimes the results are successful; sometimes the piece just does not work. But each time a weaving is cut from the loom it is a moment of truth. Finishing techniques can also make, or break, the end result.
Each warp is woven with the hope that what emerges will bring happiness to the person who acquires the finished item. The process is a basic reminder of how all of our lives are woven together on earth.
–Susan Leaverton
A vision and a passion!
My love of weaving began a long time ago during college days at Syracuse University. As a Fabric Design major, weaving quickly became a consuming focus. I continue to be intrigued by the effects of color and texture as fibers interact with each other.
Individual yarns come together on my looms as they form unique fabrics intended for both functional and decorative use. The beauty of the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains and all of Montana’s glorious vistas remain a constant source of inspiration in my life and my textile work.
I use 4 harness hand operated looms to create fabrics, combining primarily natural fibers such as wool, cotton, silk and linen. Accents of tencel, bamboo, metallic and other novelty threads offer variety.
Product lines include traditional scarves, table runners, shawls and wall hangings. A signature item for 53 years has been my ubiquitous wool Lambscapes© which have found their way around the world as ambassadors of Montana. These original designs never fail to bring smiles and serve as reminders of peace, love and hope. Nothing wrong with that! Of course a few Llamascapes© and Alpacascapes© join in the fun.
Brief general bio info:
Born in Baltimore MD 1948
Rec’d Bachelor of Arts (Fabric Design) from Syracuse University, NY
Rec’d Master of Arts (Art History, Medieval Art) from Penn State, State College PA

Sandstone Gallery Completes “Symbols of Montana” Mural on Downtown Billings’ LightBike Trail

Sandstone Gallery Completes “Symbols of Montana” Mural on Downtown Billings’ LightBike Trail
(September 12, 2023 – Billings, MT) – A new mural titled “Symbols of Montana” has just been completed in the alleyway between Sandstone Gallery and the Yarn Bar in downtown Billings. As part of the #LightBike Trail sponsored by Downtown Billings Alliance (DBA), Sandstone Gallery was awarded a grant to install a fifty-foot wide by twelve-foot-high mural depicting traditional and well-known symbols of Montana.
The first step was to get the building owner’s approval. Once approval was attained, the fun began with the design consisting of several symbols of Montana including the state animal – grizzly bear; the state bird – meadowlark; the state flower – bitterroot; and other symbols many people recognize as truly “Montana” – moose, paintbrush flowers, and big sky. The grizzly was designed after Lynn Shield’s “Purple Bear” painting, and the moose was designed after Co-Director Teresa Brown’s “Mr. Moose” painting. The meadowlark and flowers are a combination of styles by other gallery artists. The next step was submitting the proposal to DBA and waiting.
Once we were given the green light, the fun began with Sandstone’s member artists Dick Cottrill, Madelein Bladow, Teresa Brown, and Ken Denning power washing the wall, which likely had 20 years of dust and who knows what on it, making sure to keep the integrity of the old bricks. Next came color selection from the amazing colors by Sherwin Williams. Dick, Ken, Lynn, Teresa, and Madelein spray painted the base coat of blue and yellow. Then, on a dark night in late August, Lynn and Teresa projected the design onto the wall and sketched the outlines of the Moose, Bear and Meadowlark. A few days later, Lynn set up early morning before dawn to sketch all the flowers and grass along the bottom of the mural.
Next, a schedule for painting was set, and the artists of Sandstone Gallery showed up with paintbrushes in hand. Lynn painted her bear and Teresa painted her moose, while Dick Cottrill painted the meadowlark. Lana Bittner, Madelein Bladow, Mary Hopper, Donna Moore, William Crain, Jennifer Crain Baretta, Ken Denning, Christine Denning, all lent their artistic skills to the body of the mural. Some of Sandstone’s member partners were unavailable for various reasons, but they there in spirit: Victoria Wetsch, John Kennedy, Ken Dvorak, Nancy Morrison and Leo Olson Estate. Greg Brown selflessly volunteered to transport, set up and tear down scaffolding each day, for which the artists are very thankful. All told, over 160 man-hours were spent painting this vibrant mural.
When asked her favorite part of the project, Lynn said, “I absolutely loved painting the bear. It is the largest canvas I’ve ever worked on, and it was a wonderful challenge. But I think what I loved most about this project was the teamwork of our members. I’ve only been with Sandstone for a few years, and this is the first true team project we worked on. I really loved the energy everyone had toward creating something lasting and beautiful. I believe we reached our goal of representing Montana and the diverse styles of our artists.”
Teresa struggled with heights but was able to muster up enough determination to brave scaffolding for two full days of painting. When it was complete, she let out a little cheer and said, “I loved seeing our vision come to life, and conquering my fears”. When asked about her favorite part, she said “It so awesome to showcase the many talents of our gallery artists on a lasting piece of art to be enjoyed by the entire community.”
Sandstone Gallery’s co-director Jennifer Baretta was also on hand to comment. She said “Thank you to Downtown Billings. We love our mural, and we are proud to be part of the Light Bike Trail! We have wanted to do something like this for many years, and this grant opportunity helped make our dreams a reality.”
The #LightBike Trail is an art installation that winds through the alleyways of downtown billings and is sponsored by Downtown Billings Alliance. 116 N 29th St suite a, Billings, MT 59101.

Dione Roberts
2023-09-02 - 2023-11-01
Please welcome our guest artist for October, stained glass Artist, Dione Roberts of D & J Glass.
Dione Roberts
Artist’s Biography
Dione Roberts was born in Billings, Montana and has lived there all her life. Growing up in a house filled with kilns allowed her to experiment with melting glass, stretching bottles and making jewelry and glass tiles at an early age. She began designing and fabricating stained glass in 1980 and continues to make originally designed fused glass, stained glass and mosaics.
Much of her fused and painted glass work reflects her Montana roots. The Montana landscape, wheat, and crows as well as fantastical fish are often her subject matter. Adding texture through the use of ground glass in the forms of frit, powders and strings of glass are an important part of her work and she creates many elements using torches and heat. Pieces are fired multiple times at temperatures reaching 1500 degrees. She also works in a reverse fired enamel technique where designs and patterns are painted on the back of the glass, a technique that takes up to 8 twelve-hour firings.
In her studio, she works with clients to make originally designed pieces of glass art for their homes.
Her work can be seen at The Frame Hut in Billings, Montana.+
