The Whitworth University Art & Design Department and the university’s Bryan Oliver Gallery are proud to present an installation of works by painter by Kelly Packer. Please visit the exhibit between Feb. 3, and March 22, 2026.

"Here Living Again Living Here" is a collection of color-imbued cityscape paintings and drawings inspired by Butte, America. The work leans into the recognizable but is as imperfect as a memory. Like the changing landscape of Butte itself, this selection represents an evolution of paintings spanning the 11 years the artist has lived there. The work is paired with poetry by her husband, Adrian Kien.
