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 the human figure in 2 and 3 dimensional form. She also paints non-objective subject matter in a variety of mediums including encaustic, acrylic and gouache.

Lamontagne’s work has been exhibited at galleries and museums throughout the Northwest, Rocky Mountain and New England states as well as having exhibited in Germany, Canada and New Zealand.

Winner of numerous other awards, her collectors include Seattle University, West One Bank, the City of Kent, WA and the Oki Foundation.

Raised in Manchester, NH, Louise began her college art education at the University of Bridgeport in CT. She continued her studies at the School of Visual Concepts in Seattle, WA and regularly attends professional artist workshops.  

At the “art ranch”, as she refers to her home and studio in St Ignatius,MT, Louise pursues her passion in an atmosphere of solitude, concentration and unending inspiration. She has also established a part time studio on Cape Cod, MA where she is exploring abstraction and painting the treasures of the eastern seashore.
