Profiles

Greg Montgomery, featured artist

Greg Montgomery travels extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Asia and Europe, capturing images with pen, paint and camera. His clean colors, dynamic form and unusual use of white space have made him a sought-after artist in the fields of equestrian, sporting and poster art. He is well-known for his series of posters for the famed Travers Stakes at the Saratoga Race Course. 

Currently, Montgomery works as an illustrator. His commissioned work includes 44 covers for the re-publishing of a famous murder-mystery series by Dick Francis. For 18 years he was a design editor at the Albany Times Union, where his distinctive illustrations regularly appeared. He also created the official poster for the opening of Walt Disney World's Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa. 

He collaborated with Vic Zast (writer for MSNBC, the Bloodhorse, and other thoroughbred publications) as the illustrator of The History and Art of 25 Travers, published in June 2008. In August 2008, he had a solo exhibition at the Arts Center Gallery in Saratoga Springs, the first time that all of his original silkscreens and giclées were shown. 

Montgomery's posters and prints hang in public and private collections worldwide and in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress.
