The good folks at the Missoula Art Museum got wind of the work I was doing and invited me to show the Grief Series. With expert curatorial guidance from Steve Glueckert, the grief images were displayed in a gallery draped in black fabric, on a pedestal built to facilitate an intimate, close-in experience for viewer.  A catalog was produced and over the next several years, the Grief Series traveled to ten museums and galleries in Montana and Idaho.
