ArtWalk Downtown Billings

For August's Billings Downtown ArtWalk event, we will be showcasing the work of local artists PJ Smith, Ryan Brown, and Nikki Kostelecky.

Nikki Kostelecky has been creating art since the age of five. She finds inspiration in western landscapes and slow walks through nature. Nikki studied at Rocky Mountain College under Jim Baken and Mark Moak.

Ryan Brown paints beautiful pieces of abstract art with a modern western flair, utilizing and combining natural colors to create surreal landscapes. The sole objective of his work is to open a passageway to another world that will put the audience in a Zen-like state of mind.

PJ Smith is an outside painter intent on capturing true light and accurate color representation in his pieces. PJ uses a pallet knife and thick paint to create unique pieces with captivating textures, hues, and edges. He believes both the beauty and harshness of nature are reflected in his style.

Each artist's work can be found at The Frame Hut here in Billings!
