Parke paints traditional oil landscapes in the back room while Bonnie fashions handmade glass beads and jewelry in the front room. The gallery walls are lined with Parke's work. Bonnie's beads and baubles fill a room-length display case. For more about Mordam Art, see our Shopping chapter. In 1998, she featured the work of Mike Mahoney, a Billings artist who does impressionistic landscapes in oil.
Summer hours are flexible, but generally extended to seven days a week.
Owner Kelly Wade, who has built a reputation for offering top-quality work by local artisans, also features a selection of pottery, weavings and jewelry. Wade provides a complete framing service and is open seven days a week during the summer months. The rest of the year, she recommends calling to find out seasonal hours, as store hours during slow times can be subject to the weather and other mercurial factors. From the outside, this gallery looks deceptively small. Inside, though, the gallery stretches deep into the back of the lot, which means visitors find themselves following the long walls from one mind-teasing piece of art to the next.
