Press Release Rough

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 27, 2015

Montana State University’s Student Gallery Presents 4AM by Jamie LaRie Winter, March 15 – March 27, 2015
Closing Reception–March 27th, 5–7pm, MSUB Student Gallery

Billings, MT – 4AM explores the thoughts behind the anonymous quote "And if you are awake at 4AM, you are either in love or lonely, and I don’t know which one is worse." This series of narrative paintings follows the progression of being both and the honesty that arises from late nights and a slow and deliberate intoxication. 

Using wine and coffee, Jamie LaRie Winter paints expressive portraits intermixed with the thought process that accompanies being lonely and in love at 4AM and the coping mechanisms that follow. She believes that by combining her art and writing she is able to present a sincere form of communication that creates a textual aesthetic.


Winter will be graduating in May 2015 with a BA in English and Art from Montana State University Billings. Coming from a relatively isolated state, she hopes to move to the west coast after graduation to a more urban location to further her exploration of art with diversified surroundings. 

Winter's writing explores her own internal monologue as well the hidden aspects of those surrounding her, which then influences her portrait centered art practice. She finds inspiration in literature and poetry, indie films, travel, and people watching. 

She has shown in small group and juried shows such as the 4x4 Show in Powell, WY, the Art Students League’s Annual Art Auction and the Northcutt Steele Gallery’s Juried Student Show in Billings, MT.

There will be a closing reception from 5–7pm March 27th in the Montana State University Billings Student Gallery located on the first floor of the Liberal Arts Building. Gallery hours are 8am–4pm, Monday through Friday. 

The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
