Using traditional wet and dry artists’ media, digital images or comic art, I create provocative art that draws from personal experiences, dreams and altered states to challenge viewers’ assumptions of what is real and normal.
Following in the ancient traditions of artists as storytellers and truthsayers of the tribal community, I combine visual images and words. My work aims to subvert the dominant culture of inequality, whether that culture is reflected in politics, daily life or what passes for entertainment.

I am studying Fine Art at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
I think an artist's job is to freeze precious moments. We live in a beautiful world and there are so many beautiful things to see, hear, taste, touch and smell. But in our busy daily lives we forget to take a moment to appreciate those moments. I hope I can capture some of those moments and paint them on a canvas so that you can enjoy them, too.
Some of these moments might be just for fun, others might be comforting and healing, and others might be just breathtaking.
With the goal of offering our clientele an alternative to what more main-stream commercial galleries are showing, Edward Montgomery Fine Art strives to present fresh, innovative, and progressive investment-quality artwork by both established and emerging international fine artists. This has been a constant guideline and principal strategy since our first Gallery opened on the island of Maui, Hawaii, over 25 years ago.
I am perhaps best known for my work helping to restore Monet’s gardens and photographing them for 30 years. My photos have traveled with Monet’s paintings to eight museums, and are published annually in calendars and the award winning Monet’s Passion: Ideas, Inspiration & Insights from the Painter’s Gardens. My passion for nature and appreciation for beauty has inspired my dedication to diverse projects around the world from remote African villages, the Amazon rain forest, and Japan to permanent installments in corporate collections.
As a popular keynote speaker and workshop leader, I use the beauty of my photographic images, personal stories, garden metaphors, and humor to inspire the imagination of my audience to connect with what has heart and meaning for them, and to express their own creativity in their work and personal lives.
Our mission is to transform the lives of youth and communities through inspiration, dedication, discipline, and performance of classical orchestral music.
