ONE WOMAN’S MONTANA

by Kathe LeSage

As a lifelong Montanan, Kathe LeSage is keenly aware that Montana is blessed with beauty. But she sees Montana’s beauty a little differently than most of us, and she records what she sees with a unique photographic style. Working in color and in black and white, Kathe brings out deep textures, unusual light, and graceful patterns. Her subjects are varied. Her focus is broad. What Kathe sees and shows to the rest of us is astonishing. She invites inquiry and study, and inspires a deeper connection to what we are viewing. Her images ask that we take a closer look, to see beyond the obvious. Her images foster a desire to take this expanded way of seeing into our own Montana.

Montana is magical. Fluid rivers and landscapes, rolling hills, prairies and grasses, understated flora asking for closer inspection, critters to be considered, natural wonders, forest floors, dry-land simplicity, water’s edge, sounds, smells, tastes, beauty unwavering and offering such value. This small intimate collection of images is a touch, a glimpse, a reflection, a visual love poem about Montana.
