GUEST ARTISTS: Jim and Holly Cutting

Handcrafted wooden boxes by Jim Cutting

PM&M is proud to showcase the creations of special guest artists Jim and Holly Cutting of Buffalo Trail Artworks, from nearby Kila, Montana.

At PM&M through the end of April, you can find Jim's handcrafted heirloom tables, and his jewelry and keepsake wooden boxes that feature inlays of granite, marble, stone mosaics, and Holly's hand-painted artwork. Holly's original paintings might be on tile, stone or canvas, and she often embellishes them to create a unique, three-dimensional look.   She also offers some of her masterpieces as fine art giclees, individually-painted ornaments, and even note cards.

You never know what new treasure awaits discovery at PM&M. As always, we are the only northwestern Montana art gallery that is staffed entirely by the artists. Visit early, visit often!
