Welcome to
Friends of 2 Rivers
A citizens' organization committed to promoting a safe, healthy and enriching environment for the communities at the confluence of the Clark Fork and Blackfoot Rivers.
- When we moved to Seeley Lake in 1995 I started making lamps primarily of wood using burls and small logs with unusual characteristics. About 6 years ago I incorporated the two hobbies to make the wood and stone lamps. - I make the lamps as a hobby and donate the majority of them to fundraisers. It is my small way of giving back to the community. - My hobby is something I really enjoy and I work constantly to create new designs. Contact Monty at PO Box 137, Seeley Lake MT 59868 or phone (406)677-3574.

Using original B&W negatives and liquid emulsion, I print images directly onto copper, metal and stainless steel plates. Some of the photo plates are then combined with welding to create a metal structure. I enjoy combining the archival properties of photography with the longevity and strength of metal. Biography
I received my B.S. in advertising from the University of Illinois. From there, I worked in advertising in Chicago. I then traveled to Montana and obtained my M.S. in art from the University of Montana. My current art consists of using original B&W negatives and liquid emulsion. I print images directly onto copper, metal and stainless steel plates using traditional darkroom methods. I enjoy working in a variety of mediums. Photography seems to be my base, but I am intrigued by combining different forms of metals with my photography I enjoy combining the archival properties of photography with the longevity and strength of metal. Technology, like art, is a soaring exercise of the human imagination. This email address is being protected from spambots.

Stained Glass Artist
I started working with stained glass in the late 1970’s after trying other mediums, such as batik, clay and photography. After taking one stained glass course I knew that this was what I wanted to pursue. What began as a hobby that I fit in between raising two children and working part-time, became my full time vocation in the 1990’s. I am the sole proprietor of Sagawa Glass and work out of my studio in my home where I personally design and hand craft all of my creations. Most of my glass skills are self-taught or learned through experimentation. I believe that my creativity has benefited from not being taught what “couldn’t” be done with glass. My skills and direction have changed and evolved over the last 28 years. I started with traditional two-dimensional leaded panels, then created my own “tree of life” panel using copper foil in a most nontraditional fashion. I designed the “aspen” after moving to Montana and having a beautiful grove of aspen in our side yard. What attracted me to stained glass to begin with is still what I love the most -- working with color. Reach Sally at This email address is being protected from spambots.
