Frame of Mind Presents...
Unified Field
Tricia Opstad
November 1 - 22, 2025
We are pleased to present the winner of our 2025 Juried Art Exhibition artist Tricia Opstad! Tricia was selected as our Juror’s Choice, meaning her work stood out amongst the rest as being especially unique and skilled. As a recipient of this award, Tricia received the
opportunity to have her own solo art show in our gallery.
Unified Field is an unfolding and opening process of becoming and in concert with one’s true nature. It is nurturing and observing the coming and going of embodied presence. This body of work reflects a sense of being one with the natural world, in a state of wonder, gesture/movement, aliveness and being with all that is. Unified Field is painting and making as a ritual for dissolving the story and being with the true essence of who belongs to and is of nature.
Reception on Friday, November 14th 5:30-8pm
Coach Shane will DJ this event. Light snacks and drinks will be provided.
Tricia Opstad is an artist who lives and works in Missoula, Montana. Tricia’s work is phenomenological and expansive in nature. Phenomenology says our very existence is established and maintained through mutual and inseparable relationship with the natural world; a direct conscious felt experience. Tricia pulls from her skills and training as a dancer using embodiment and somatic practices in her work. She responds from sensation, emotion, movement, and desire in combination with crafted techniques in composition and style. Tricia makes visual art, sound art/noise, video and dance performance. Tricia curates and shows work at the artist-run gallery, Office Temple, in downtown Missoula. Tricia holds a Masters of Art of Integrated Arts in Education (2008) and a Masters of Science in Speech Language Pathology (2011).

Monte Dolack
Frame of Mind is pleased to announce the addition of our gallery space to the store. The gallery space is the new home for Monte Dolack and Mary Beth Percival’s art work, where we can display the full collection of their posters, fine art prints, notecards, post cards, and lithographs available in stock at our location.
Monte Dolack is a staple in the world of Montana artwork. His artwork captures the true magic and beauty that is found all around us in Montana. A native of Great Falls, Monte Dolack grew up surrounded by the same sweeping vistas and big sky that inspired Charlie Russell. His love of Montana and passion for the West’s diverse landscapes and wildlife are evident in the images he creates and the commissions he undertakes.
Visit us today to see the artist’s collected works and view a rotating gallery of beautifully framed pieces by both Monte Dolack and Mary Beth Percival.
