Kay Montanye

About the Artist

My name is Kay Montanye. I’m a painter, wife, and mother based outside of Baltimore in Glyndon, Maryland, an old Victorian town that overlooks a vast valley of hayfields and horse farms. Living near such an untouched landscape has allowed my love and appreciation for the natural beauty of our world to grow over the years. I use my interactions with the local animal life to inspire my work. My mixed media illustrations are hand-drawn using watercolor, acryla gouache, and acrylic paint. I've specialized in custom pet portraits and love to translate my work into greetings cards or prints to help bring something beautiful to a special occasion. I’ve also worked on a few murals in the Reisterstown area and looking to branch out and do more throughout the community. I graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a BFA in Multidisciplinary in Fine Arts with a core in painting. I’ve been painting on the side for the past 10 years while working full time at the Baltimore Museum of Art. When I’m not invested in my work you can find me spending time with my family, enjoying the outdoors, cooking, and searching for any new inspirations.
