The Artist
Educated at Dartmouth College and Northwestern University, Missoula native Marvin Soroos is a retired professor of international relations and global environmental politics at North Carolina State University, where he taught for 38 years. He divides his years between Raleigh, North Carolina, and his childhood home on Plymouth Street in Missoula.

His paintings have appeared exhibitions in North Carolina, Montana, and, Wyoming. 

He has previously shown his works at Bernice’s Bakery in Missoula in 2011, 2014, and 2018.

The Bernice’s Exhibition
This year’s show includes a selection of his landscape paintings of western Montana scenes from the Missoula, Bitterroot, and Blackfoot Valleys and Glacier Park.

He has been especially inspired by the calm panorama of the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge near Stevensville. His works capture the beauty of the region in vibrant colors using the acrylic medium.

Local viewers may recognize some of the scenes.
