Artist Statement
Louise Lamontagne’s vividly realized oil paintings, with their simple, bold forms expressed in strong strokes and richly saturated colors, have earned her a significant place among contemporary Western artists.
Although known primarily for her landscape paintings, Louise has also explored … non-objective subject matter in a variety of mediums including encaustic, an ancient form of painting with wax.
