I Am Having An Art Show At The ZACC!

On Friday, December 3rd at 5 PM, Lucy and I are having an art show at the ZACC in the youth gallery and it will be up all December! I am so excited!! There will be buyable pieces of art hanging on the wall. The money will go to the Navopatia Field Station in Mexico, the ZACC, and the Montana Osprey Project. The youth art gallery is by the play-ground and the bathrooms, The art will be in gold frames of all different shapes and sizes. Some art will be black and white, but most will be colored in. I did the art show because I love to draw and I wanted to practice my nature journaling techniques.

These are our artist statements:

My name is Dottie Moon Anglian Herring. I am 8 years old and live in Missoula, MT. I love birds!! I also love to read, play outside, play legos, learn, fish, hunt, and swim. My favorite color is golden. My favorite animal is an eagle. I’m scared of snakes. I used to love whales but at the start of the pandemic I started birding because you can’t see whales in Montana. I have a blog, it’s www.missoulabirdnerds.com. I am Yup’ik and an enrolled tribal member of the Orutsararmiut Native Council.

I draw birds, lots and lots of birds! For my art, I use micron pens, colored pencils, normal + blue erase pencils, watercolor + grid paper, paints, and paintbrushes. I thought having an art show would be a great opportunity to learn new skills and techniques. I think drawing has made me a better birder, I think that because I have learned new field marks and different species of birds.

I draw birds. I learned to draw birds from my sister. I use watercolor pencils, paper and pens. I think of all the birds I see, then I choose my favorite. I am showing my art because I love doing art. Sometimes people aren’t the same, so I do things differently.
