Artist Statement:
Christine Montague
http://www.christinemontague.co
m
My figurative landscape
paintings are of a single
figure in the Canadian
landscape. This figure usually
a youth is alone but never
lonely. Instead, they are in
moments of discovery or
reflection.
In my portraiture painting I
strive to capture the spirit
of my subject as ambitiously
as portraying the likeness.
My photographs document beauty
and change in hidden places,
particularly in those of
Mississauga & the Halton
Hills.
A passionate artist advocate
and arts volunteer, I have
volunteered my services to
many arts boards and
committees. I love working out
of my studio in the Williams
Mill Visual Arts Centre and my
work shows this.
