I am a queer acrylic painter based in Montreal, QC. My practice consists of work on canvas, in sketchbooks, and on paper. I work in a shared studio space in Ateliers3333.

Through my style of unblended mark-making, I create acrylic, mixed-media paintings depicting landscapes of belonging. I create my own gelli plate collage materials on tissue paper and play with fluid acrylics, inks, pastels, crayons, and pencils. A member of both artist and software developer communities, I am curious about why we place limitations on ourselves to belong.

To get the inside look into my studio practice, and stay in touch outside of social media, you can subscribe to my newsletter. On my Instagram (@montanafowler_cs_art), I share a glimpse into my daily art practice.

In 2017, my interests in different art mediums (film, book-making, layout design+) coalesced in my love for painting. After my first painting course with prof. Wendy Edwards, I knew I would continue to paint for the rest of my life. I fell in love with the way painting feels... playing with liquid color on a surface, an endless puzzle of experimentation. I love playing with the degree of control using different tools, paint consistencies, and layering styles.
