BILLINGS â A special vintage art show has claimed its own room at the Sandstone Art Gallery in downtown Billings. The show is largely composed of work from late local artists Beverly St. John and LeRoy Greene.
Both artists have ties to the Billings area and were respected oil painters. Their work consists mostly of Montana landscapes, which were made by oil paints.
The paintings were given to the gallery at 2913 Second Ave. N. by relatives of the artists and told they could be put up for sale and display.

Dec. 23 Longtime Sacramento civil rights activist and Capitol staffer Georgette Imura died from lung cancer on Dec. 17. She was 77.
Imura was born Georgette Yamamoto on October 18, 1943, in the Manzanar concentration camp at the foot of the Sierra Nevadas. She spent the first two years of her life imprisoned there before her family was eventually released. Her family settled in midtown Sacramento when she was 4.
Described as feisty, headstrong and bold her whole life, Imura entered the Capitol for the first time as a receptionist in 1967, working her way over the course of 28 years to hold numerous leadership positions in the state Legislature.
