In early September 2025, our group of accomplished artists, known as the Wild Women Paint the West, gathered in the charming town of Philipsburg, Montana, for a very special event with Illume Gallery.
We painted on location, soaking in the rugged beauty and golden light of late summer in Big Sky Country. (Check out my IG Reel below of me painting on location).

The weekend opened on Friday, September 5th, with a warm reception and sale where collectors mingled with the artists while enjoying delicious refreshments. (See IG Reel below)

The following day brought the excitement of a Quick Finish Event as our guests watched while we completed new paintings on the spot, followed by a drawing for purchase of the fresh works at 2:00 pm.
The energy, camaraderie, and creativity that filled the gallery that weekend truly embodied the spirit of the Wild Women.
The exhibition continues to hang at Illume Gallery into October 2025, and we invite you to experience the beauty of the West through the eyes of these talented Wild Women:
Elizabeth Robbins · Cindy Baron · Kim Lordier · Lori McNee · Romona Youngquist · Shanna Kunz · Stephanie Marzella · Suzie Baker
If you’re in Montana this fall, make sure to stop by Philipsburg—you won’t want to miss it!
PS. Here’s a fun day at work in Montana!
