THE FEELING OF SANCTUARY that comes from a lake house is often nurtured by the deeper connection being along the water’s edge seems to bring out. Time slows. The mind quiets. The surface of the water calms at the end of each day — stillness.

Nestled just beyond view of the water, this timber-frame residence is both the studio & home of a renowned Montana artist. Carefully sited within a quiet forest outcropping, the home embraces moments of solitude and connection. Expansive glazing frames the shifting forest light and seasonal change. Just steps from the artist’s childhood home, the house is a living extension of memory and newfound source of inspiration.
