Meditation VI Painting

Joyful and uplifting, Trudy Montgomery's vibrant, abstract paintings portray a fresh aesthetic and a contemporary view of our relationship with the land and our origin of belonging. Her tendency towards pure, bold color, often on an immersive scale, is influenced by the light and space of California where she lived for 14 years. Drawing inspiration from her travels, both inner and outer, Trudy's work can be seen as inner landscapes or 'dreamscapes' depicting the unseen. Georgia O'Keefe said, "the abstract is often the purest form for me to express the inexpressible." For Trudy, this holds true. Working from a meditative state of action, Trudy uses the expressive possibilities of paint to convey what is, so often, inaccessible via words.
