Since its establishment in 1964, Old Main Gallery has been a fixture to Historic Downtown Bozeman, Montana. Old Main Gallery focuses on local & regional contemporary work. Through evocative and engaging exhibitions, workshops & lectures, the gallery’s goal is to provide Gallatin Valley and beyond with a holistic understanding of and appreciation for contemporary locally based fine art. From abstract to realist, landscape to figurative, the Gallery strives for diversity while maintaining a Western emphasis. We specialize in creating framing that will make your special memories last for years. Our priority is the conservation and preservation of the artwork. Whether an original Picasso or a piece of child’s art, we have experience working with it all. Old Main Gallery & Framing follows some traditional practices, but embraces technology and changes that improve the finished piece we produce for our customers. Framing design can be done in house or remotely. Old Main has many long distance, loyal framing customers who use this service. We believe custom picture framing should combine the desired outcomes of enhanced presentation plus attention to protection of the artwork or items being framed. Our staff is highly trained and ready to meet your needs.

The subject is the invisible — the energetic aliveness that permeates all bodies, all matter. The work begins where perception ends: in the unseen quantum fields shared by all living form, and in the more-than-human communication that surrounds us, yet which is largely forgotten. The Living Invisible moves between scales that landscape art rarely reconciles: the subatomic and the cosmic, the cellular and the geological, the microbial and the galactic.
Painting in encaustic, oil, cold wax, and pigment stick on grounds whose earlier histories remain buried yet generative beneath, Mast builds layered surfaces that function as both field and memory. Her sculptural work is made from vitrified Plasma Enhanced Melter (PEM) glass — a byproduct of plasma gasification technology that returns waste to its molecular structure, converting it into inert glass at temperatures as hot as the surface of the sun. The work's proposition is direct: that industrial waste can be transmuted into beauty, and that art can participate in the repair of a culture bent on extraction and disposability.
The Living Invisible follows Mast's touring exhibition Standing in the River, which opened at the MSU School of Art in Bozeman, MT in August 2025 and traveled to the Montana Museum of Art and Culture in Missoula, MT, with upcoming stops at the Danforth Museum in Livingston, MT (October 2026), South Dakota Art Museum, Brookings, SD (2027) and the Art Museum of Eastern Idaho in Idaho Falls, ID (2028).
