REVIEWS AND QUOTES:

"Great photography is the electrified contact between the eye’s hunger to see and life’s desire to be seen. I opened this book from the back for some reason, and my eyes felt plugged into that electrified current. It captures a lifetime, a narrative, a history, a land, a way of being. Eternity revealed in a single glance." Krys Holmes of Montana Magazine

"There is an intimate, textural quality to Kathe LeSage’s photographic work that makes you want to run your fingers across the images. You know, of course, her pictures are two-dimentional. They are in a book, reproductions of the originals, after all. Nonetheless, with each turn of the page, reason gets pushed aside, and soon you find yourself tracing the outline of richly-hued oak leaves and longing to feel the shimmering cobalt depth of a summer river. “One Woman’s Montana “ is like taking a walk with a friend and being witness to wondrous awe inspiring moments." Betsy Cohen of the Missoulia

"I first bumped into Kathe LeSage’s photographs on a pair of too-gorgeous-to-use bookmarks, one a mallard’s wing, and the other a sleeping coyote. LeSage’s photographs celebrate “the visible with the unseen.” Hers are images you’ll want to spend some time with, and then return to. What is striking about LeSage’s photos is their perspective – and the attention demanded of their audience.” Sherry Devlin of the Missoulian

"Whether it’s a cowboy readying his lasso or the delicate structure of a mallard’s wing, the photos open a simplified view of a complex world, even though there’s nothing simple about LeSage’s work. Chris Cauble, publisher of Riverbend, said he’s published numerous photography books by accomplished photographers yet the images captured by LeSage represented something he’s never seen…”the images were so strikingly different” he said." Martin Kidston of the Independent Record

"Kathe LeSage’s views of Monaana are not the stereotypical. Instead, LeSage gets close and personal with her subjects. And when she steps back a give a browd view, it’s unlike that of any other photographer of the Montana scene." Great Falls Tribune

"Opening Kathe LeSage’s collection of photographs is like stepping into a luminous world where surface, texture and light are paramount." Kristi Niemeyer of State of the Arts

"There is often a feminine quality to the images, even when what they capture has no gender. Her photos often read like invitations to share a secret." Jenny Shank of the New West

"LeSage’s photos are a blend of the tightly cropped textural shots, mid-distance views and panoramic landscapes. What unites them beyond their Montana settings is the artistry of LeSage’s eye and lens." Chris Rubich of the Billings Gazette
