Mary Keefer has recently transitioned from painting realistic landscapes using only watercolors to using acrylics and mixed media on paper or canvas to paint abstract landscapes that are more imaginary, mysterious, or whimsical. Her most recent show this year titled "Land and Color Out West" was at the Belgrade Public Library. Her work has received local and national awards. She works as an Adjunct Faculty Reference Librarian at Montana State University (MSU) and helps at the Bozeman Public Library.
