In a career spanning more than 40 years, the
paintings of Montana native Tom Saubert
focus on the representation of the Western
genre, its people and history, with an emphasis
on historical accuracy and an introspective
exploration of the human condition. Saubert
has participated in several prestigious
invitational shows including Masters of the
American West at the Autry Museum of
the American West, and over the course of
his career he has received several awards
for merit. He has been a member of the
Rendezvous Group of Artists since 2000.“For my entire professional career as an
artist my working method as a painter has
included doing the required research for
authenticating a particular theme and time
period...It is a lot of work but has proved to be
a marvelous way for getting actual experience
and interaction with the subject, providing
true inspiration and uncommon insight for the
painting process,” says the artist.
Saubert is currently exploring two new
series: one on the war horse masks used in
Plains Indian warrior culture and the other on
the painted Medicine Lodges of the Blackfeet
Tribes. Saubert will be featured in a show at
Underscore Gallery in Whitefish, Montana, on
August 1. He is also represented by Montana
Trails Gallery in Bozeman.Lee Tisch Bialczak

Lee Tisch Bialczak, a traditional landscape
artist, creates realistic scenes with soft pastels.
Her practiced technique conveys a sense of
immediacy and harmony that we feel with our
natural environment.
A multiple award winner, Bialczak’s
artwork is represented in galleries, as well as
in public and private collections nationwide.
Her works have been published in American
Art Collector and Current Masters 3. She
participates in numerous juried exhibitions,
and represents during Western Art Week in
Great Falls, Montana. Bialczak is a member
of Western Heritage Artists Association, and
is an associate member of the Women Artists
of the West. Driven by nature, her inspirations
come from being outdoors—either on foot,
horseback or in a kayak. Traveling frequently
in Northwestern Montana, she feels drawn to
capture the majesty and grandeur of Glacier
National Park and the surrounding areas, as
well as its wildlife inhabitants. She is currently
working on a Big Sky series, depicting the
vastness of the beautiful and ever changing
skies over Montana.
Bialczak will be spending this summer as
the artist in residence at The Clarke Gallery in
East Glacier Park, Montana, where her works
will be on display.Far left: Tom
