We've Got The County Covered
The cover on the 2018 seed show program book was created by visual artist Connie Tveten who has participated for several years in the Montana Seed Show art competition.
Connie Tveten is a Montana native who has had a lifelong interest in the wildlife and history of Montana. Until they retired, she and her husband Robert farmed and ranched near Vida, Montana. Life on the ranch enabled her to observe firsthand the wild birds and animals of the area.
Her paintings of western relics and old Native American bead work reflect her interest in history. Tveten's wildlife paintings on Montana sandstone give the artwork dimension.
Interest in the birds of the area led Tveten to explore the medium of wood. Each of her bird sculptures are lifelike and accurate, reflecting the many hours and steps that lead to a realistic presentation of the bird.
