following my creative path

Some years ago I chose the Path of Living A Creative Life, leaving a corporate career to heed the call of my soul. I began curating art exhibitions, and created an art consultancy firm in San Francisco helping collectors and designers source contemporary art from around the world. One day, as I walked the halls of a huge art fair, I realised I was looking for a painting that I myself would have to paint —one that was joyous and bold.

And so that’s what I did….

How I became an Artist

Trudie's ART is a transmission

Viewing Trudie’s art is an immersive experience in colour and frequency: a transmission that infuses the body and uplifts the spirit. Her abstract paintings anchor the light in colour and form, grounding new frequencies on the physical plane.

work with Trudie

Trudy’s work brings to mind artists such as Albert Irvine, R.A., O.B.E.

“With her bold brushstrokes and vibrant palette, Trudy Montgomery’s work brings to mind artists such as Albert Irvine, R.A., O.B.E.. Trudy’s work has been exhibited internationally and viewers can sense the influence of the light and space of California where the artist lived for 14 years. Her work is energetic, fresh and full of vitality.”
— Jo Baring, Curator, Rise Art
Deliciously Emotive Viewing

“The sheer size of canvas and strength of colour in Trudie’s works make for deliciously emotive viewing, akin to an intensely joyful, semi-spiritual walk through the more beautiful parts of your own imagination.”
— Mercedes Smith, Masters In the Making, Cornwall Living magazine
Looks even better in real life!

“We have just got home and opened the painting and it is incredible. It looks even better in real life. It's most likely to stay in our bedroom — it's such a happy picture — so nice to wake up to!”

All six are hung - brightening up our lives

“Skopelos Sea arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon and is now hanging in our kitchen on the opposite wall to Sundrenched Landscape. We both love it! So we have Moorings in the hall, the two above in the kitchen, Cove in the Utility area and First Light and Golden Sands in the study. I think you said that half the fun was getting them hung in the right place. Well you were correct. it is almost as if the kitchen has been opened up.. All six are hung where we see them constantly and they have all helped meet our intention of creating a visual impact and brightening up our lives.”
–Howard and Mary, Shropshire, UK
The colour and details are so good on your website, I felt they were absolutely spot-on!

The colour and details are so good on your website that although it felt very risky buying online in case the colours weren’t true, in fact, I felt they were absolutely spot-on!”
