Wawawai Canyon Winery is pleased to exhibit the watercolors of local artist, Kay Montgomery. Montgomery's works will be on display from March 6th through the month of April.

A reception will be held Saturday, March 6th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Guests will be invited to meet the artist and to enjoy an evening of light appetizers and complimentary wine tasting.

Montgomery usually paints in series and is currently involved in several ongoing efforts, in this series, she focuses exclusively on watercolor. Texture is a very important factor in many of her pieces, as well as color and design.

“My paintings have undergone a variety of changes over the years but almost inevitably I go back to the world around us, the skies, the trees, and flowers, the strength of stone. The greatest influence on my work has been many manifestations of nature itself. I respond to the colors, textures and underlying essences of living things, in all seasons, in all ways of life. I try to paint the emotion that the ocean evokes, the feeling that a fir tree elicits, the elation that a windy fall day arouses. I paint for myself and to myself and wish only that others feel pleasure in my paintings. I am not a “purist” in my use of paint but use opaques, collage or whatever strikes my fancy and the mood of the moment.”
