painting the light of the soul

Joyous and uplifting, Trudie’s abstract art is an exuberant expression of Spirit, a fiesta of colour and light. Choose from original paintings or limited edition prints to infuse positive energy wherever they hang —at home, at work and abroad.

From a career in finance to

following a creative path

Some years ago I chose the Path of Living A Creative Life, leaving a career in corporate to heed the call of my soul. I began producing art exhibitions and created a boutique art advisory firm helping collectors to source art from galleries, dealers and artists’ studios 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 uplifting.

And so that’s what I did…

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.

The path of creativity IS
a path to the light 

My mentoring helps women unlock the Creative Muse within.

I am a catalyst for what you truly are. As you release emotional blocks stored in the psyche and cells, the full creative power gifted to you becomes available - to be expressed in art, in life and in the world.

  • 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!

  • 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!”

  • All six are hung and are 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

  • You captured the spirit we discussed

    — Jim, New York, USA

  • I love the movement and energy

    “I received Where Love Lies and it is stunning. I love the movement and energy in the piece and the subtle shadings. We are staying home most of the time and that is giving me lots of time to contemplate it. I am excited to be able to live with one of yours.”

    —Karen, Los Altos, CA
