Album Cover Art

Studio Notes

9 Apr

Paintings usually hang on walls. But once a digital image is created it can be created into a limited edition print, or even be licensed to exist in the digital world.

So it feels rather strange - and a little bit exciting! - to see one of my paintings on Spotify and other digital music streaming platforms.

So huge congratulations and thanks to singer-songwriter Sasha Yates for choosing my painting Nica Abstract I for the cover art for her debut single, The Moment That We Met.

Trudy Montgomery’s abstract painting has been selected as album cover art for Sasha Yates’ new song, *The Moment That We Met*

I met Sasha in Nicaragua and we instantly connected, comparing notes (🎵 pun intended) on how the creative process differs across writing music and painting. (Answer: somewhat but not as much as you might think.)

Sasha was looking for artwork for her new album and wanted a painting to capture the wistful yearnings of the heart which characterise her soulful song lyrics. Sasha chose my painting Nica Abstract 1 for the cover artwork for her first single - and another for her upcoming EP Album - to be released soon.
