Artist Statement for Christine Montague

Christine Montague http://www.christinemontague.com and http:www, aheckofanartist.com christine@aheckofanartist.com
Christine is an award winning, academically trained artist who paints representational, realism oil paintings of figures, usually children in the landscape, pure landscape, and portraitur painting.

Christine’s paintings are often recognised for their unusual viewpoint of either looking up at the subject, or at being at eye level with a subject that one would normally look down at. The children in her paintings are often seen as if from behind so that viewers are given the illusion they are participating in the journey of the subject. The fact that Christine is accomplished in painting such large canvases (as well as small) also contributes to this illusion.

Christin Montague is also an accomplished portrait painter and a passionate photographer.
