Clio Art Fair Spotlight: a Review by Lori Montgomery

Artist Lori Montgomery in front of her artworks

“My work is a reflection of life’s emotional landscape—its pain, joy, resilience, and beauty. Working primarily in acrylic, I channel my personal experiences into bold, intuitive compositions that speak to healing and transformation. Each painting is a dialogue between memory and emotion, where layers of color, texture, and movement invite the viewer into a shared moment of reflection."

-Lori Montgomery

How would you describe your experience at Clio Art Fair?

Participating in the Clio Art Fair was an inspiring and energizing experience. Surrounded by a vibrant community of independent artists, I felt both honored and excited to share my work in such a dynamic and unfiltered space. The fair’s focus on artists without exclusive gallery representation created an atmosphere of raw creativity and authentic connection.
