This collection draws inspiration from time I have spent in cottage country, where the landscape offers an abundance of colour, beauty, and experience. 

 

By punctuating these scenes with unexpected hues to emphasize light and shadow, I blur the boundaries of time and memory. The shifting palette of water, sky, and shoreline becomes less about a specific visit and more about the feeling of being there and the lingering joy it leaves behind. 

 

These landscapes reflect the generosity of the places that continue to invite me back.

Montgomery’s work is playful, both in process and product. She finds inspiration in daily life and cottage views. Her style and point of view as an artist are influenced by the years she worked as a professional graphic designer and photographer. She enjoys painting expressionistically, allowing confident, bold brushstrokes and carefully placed contrasting colours to build unexpected texture and energy. Her goal is to produce spirited, contemporary art with an air of nostalgia.

Montgomery has a B.S. degree in Studio Art. (1998) Her work can be found in collections throughout Canada and the U.S.
