A Timeless Legacy

A Timeless Legacy: Women Artists of Glacier National Park shines a light on the untold story of these early artistic pioneers, along with four of their contemporary sisters, who share the common drive to commune with and observe nature, then paint it from their hearts. Spanning over a hundred years, through the backdrop of the early history of the Park and its enduring artistic-legacy, we hear their stories, see their art and learn of the frustrations of being women artists in a market dominated by men.
