JUNE – Tour of Lysha Montiel’s works at Gallery With A Cause - Albuquerque
Visit to Gallery With A Cause to view works by Lysha Montiel
Lysha Montiel, an abstract artist, was born in Tucson, grew up in Southern California, and moved to Santa Fe in 2005. She currently resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
She is primarily self-taught. Her M.A. in Counseling Psychology/Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and her B.A. in Religious Studies from California State University Northridge inform her process, evoking elements of the collective unconscious, archetypes, and mythology.
She chooses unconventional tools, techniques, and mediums. Her work is poetic, profound, gutsy, symbolic, and atmospheric, with a hint of landscapes. She builds ephemeral worlds with visionary and fantastical elements, sometimes later to be torn down, buried, and unearthed. Her work reflects an openness that invites the viewer to project. Lysha’s award-winning paintings have been exhibited in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos.
