Artist finds niche in collaborating with local bands
When artist Isaac Passwater returned home to the Flathead Valley following his graduation from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, it was only meant to be a short summer break before he moved to Portland in search of work in the arts.
Then the pandemic happened and the artist found himself stuck in his hometown. It’s been four years and Passwater is still here, embracing a growing arts scene and developing his style while building on unexpected community connections.
The 27-year-old has been an artist his whole life, earning him recognition as a student at Bigfork High School where he illustrated a comic book for his senior project and doodled in the margins of his assignments. His talent in 2015 landed him in the Daily Inter Lake, where he spoke excitedly about attending art school while dreaming about his future career.
