More about the artists:
Lloyd Waldron
Lloyd Waldron completed his undergraduate work at Vanderbilt Peabody College in Liberal Arts and graduate school at Syracuse University with a Master of Science in Education. Recently in the 2024 & 2025 academic year, Lloyd completed three semesters of coursework in the ceramic studio of Montana State University in Bozeman.
In the fall of 1975, Lloyd began learning how to work in clay with a homemade potter’s wheel that had a wooden 2 X 4 frame and a poured concrete kick wheel. As an avid ceramic enthusiast, Lloyd has participated in workshops in Nashville, Chataqua, Denver and Houston.
After retiring from a career in commercial construction, three grandsons prompted a move from the western slope of Colorado to Bozeman. Family and working with clay are his current focus.”
Rachel Ingle
Rachel Ingle is a printmaker originally from the Midwest, now living and working in Bozeman, Montana. She got her BA in Art Education from Calvin College with a specialty in film photography and drawing, and her MFA from Montana State University with a specialty in printmaking.
Through printmaking, she explores a new expression of her original interests in photography and drawing. The print matrix proposes new directions for mark making, and the ink gives new textures and smells. The community of the press room and the skill sharing that happens there creates collaboration in every individual print.
The print is a new thing birthed from the conglomerate of community, process, material and idea. The prints in “They Arrived Like Fate” consider ideas of identity and place, through the lens of tourism and landscape. By layering wildflowers, weeds, and invasives species over pictures of family vacations the artist ruminates on human movement and relationships through metaphors of the natural world. The way we attribute morality to the existence, growth, and movement of plants gives us insight on how we are striving to be present in the world.
