Tom Monteith received an MFA from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, an MA from CSU Sacramento, and a BA from UC Berkeley. His landscape and figurative paintings deal with color, space, light and atmosphere, and emit a distinctly contemporary ethos, in that they pit ambivalent psychological states against recognizable exterior landscapes. An engagement with the various potentialities of “earth” as a figurative form is an ongoing aspect of the work. Exhibitions include I-space (Chicago), Post (Los Angeles), JayJay (Sacramento), Bedford Gallery (Walnut Creek, CA), Krannert Museum (Univ. of Illinois), Nelson Gallery (UC Davis), and Art Centre (Silpakorn Univ., Nakhon Pathom, Thailand). Monteith’s solo exhibition, “earth island”, at Sac State’s University Library Gallery was included in squarecylinder’s “Best of 2015”. He is a Professor Emeritus of Art at California State University, Sacramento, where he taught painting and drawing from 1999-2023; he currently resides in Sacramento, CA.
