Paula Coleman

Paula Coleman joined the Danforth board in 2022, when she was inspired by her daughter Annika who was then a senior at PHS and a student board member for the DMA. Since then, she has been further inspired by the DMA community and the vision of the Danforth to be a museum collecting the story of Livingston as an artist’s community. Paula has been grateful to find her home Livingston since 2005, and has been an advocate and supporter of education, wellness and the arts in Park County since arriving here with her three girls (Malea and Jordan are the other two) and husband, Scott.

 

Susan Earle

Susan Earle relocated to Livingston in 2019 after a long career as an art conservator at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Susan is a masterful artist, preferring to paint in oil, and also is a regular at Livingston’s life drawing sessions where she skillfully executes figurative work in graphite, conté crayon, and charcoal. She joined the Danforth Museum of Art board in 2022, and is committed to having the DMA function as a valued resource for the local arts community.

Dan Gravage was first introduced to the Danforth while in high school during the 1970’s. Over the years he has been involved in a number of different projects and presentations, most notably The Mainstreet Shows. After spending a career with MDOT as a Bridge Engineer, with side-gigs as an architectural draftsman, hang gliding instructor, and accordionist, Dan enjoys assisting in the efforts to see the Danforth Art Museum achieve its new life now, and into the future.  


 

Stephen Nobel

Stephen Nobel is a visual artist in Livingston, Montana.  His works are the embodiment of an artistic journey that has evolved over decades. Employing the language of color, pattern, shape, scale, shadow, texture, and three-dimensionality, Nobel’s work is a masterful exploration of the relationships between abstract visual elements. He has exhibited at the Danforth Museum of Art in Livingston and Echo Arts in Bozeman, Montana. Prior to his full time commitment to art-making, he was a brand ambassador for Kravet Inc. and Knoll Inc., adjunct faculty for New York School of Interior Design and a trustee of Kendall College of Art in Grand Rapids MI.

Storrs Bishop, Executive Director

Storrs graduated from Syracuse University in 1992 with a double-major in English and art. His art studies concentrated on photography and printmaking, disciplines that remain at the heart of his artistic vision, which integrates the traditional processes of printmaking with digital printing and photography.

As an active member of the art community, Storrs led the Danforth’s transition from a gallery to a museum. In August of 2022, he stepped off the DMA board to lead the organization as its executive director. Storrs is currently studying for an MA in art history from MSU. In November 2023, he will defend his thesis, the subject of which is the development of Livingston as an art community.
