Just a little about Montana Turtle

       Please, Call me Turtle.  Turtle is a name in which represents my slower approach to life I take.  At a slower pace I can appreciate what is around me.  For the past 18 years I have called Montana's Big Sky Country my home.  Each day I am reminded why I have chosen this area as my home.

       From West Yellowstone, Montana, Turtle began his quest as an Engraver / Jeweler in the spring of 2008.  The very year his son Lyrik was born.  Knowing his seasonal career as a snowmobile guide into Yellowstone Park would not forever support his family; Turtle made a decision that year to choose a career that would take him well past his youth; and so began his journey into a trade that would soon become more than just a career but a passion.  Using his natural talents of creativity and drawing, he transfers his surroundings in the Big Sky Country onto precious metals in the form of Buckles, earrings, necklaces, and the like.  

Montana Turtle has been snowmobile guiding into Yellowstone National Park since 2002

Watching others enjoy Yellowstone has been one of my greatest enjoyments in my world.

West Yellowstone, Montana. Population about 1,000 or so. Nearest city 90 miles north to Bozeman. Starts snowing in September and last snow is in June. My home in the Mountains.

       During the Summer months, Montana Turtle travels around  to different art shows.  His love for traveling pulls him further down the road each year.  Check out is show listing; who knows, perhaps you will run into him at one of his shows.
