My name is Allison Montroy, and I’m a multi-disciplinary artist from the north country. I studied digital arts and sciences and communications, and then went on to get a masters in data analytics. By day, I tell stories with data to help solve business problems. By night, I experiment with as many mediums as possible.
At the core of my work, I am always looking to highlight patterns and dichotomies in life that maybe others don’t notice, and appreciating the beauty in that. You can find some of my work for sale at the SLC Arts council, or on display at their local community exhibitions. You can also find me online on my website (you’re already here)or at the social media handles.
This year, any proceeds from artwork sold or classes taught will be donated to SLC Arts. I will then be matching that amount and donating to other organizations.
The creation of this piece was inspired by the call for submission by Boreal Zine for Rise Up: Melt Down. This started from an inspiring day at the National Gallery in Ottawa this past January. I was inspired so much by the art, that when I looked at the snow on the ceiling of the museum I could see paintings in it.
Which led to these:
This was the final piece that was submitted.
My grandma taught me to crochet when I was little- and by that I mean she taught me how to make a chain and I gave up after that. I got more into in my 20s/the 2020s. I tried to teach myself to knit but just could never get the rhythm down. This year I have taken wonderful classes on knitting and loom weaving! I look forward to using these skills for more multi-medium projects in the future (maybe even cyanotype printing on fabrics I make?)
Some projects included:
I found out recently that on my older Nikon I can do multiple exposures right in the camera. What this means is I turn on “multiple exposure” as a setting on the camera, take two photos consecutively, and the camera double exposes them digitally in the camera.
I’ve been having a lot of fun scanning all types of things and then making digital arts with them!
I did some experimenting recently with cutting out words and letters from packaging I was going to recycle.
Recently I bought the supplies for cyanotype printing to play with. I did a couple experiments at home and then also away from home. Turns out it’s much easier when you have access to a sink/water!
Experiment One: At home in moderate UV with objects behind and above the glass
Further experiments: trying wet cyanotype. This involves spraying the fabric with vinegar and other substances so that it is wet when exposed to the sun.
Experiments outside my house:
March 12th, 2026 was the opening of the More Than A Mirror Exhibition at SLC Arts. It was a wonderful evening of engaging with the community and art, and getting to know more about artists through engaging with their work.
Hi, I’m Allison!
This is just a simple site for me to share the projects I’m working on. I made a goal this year to donate + match any profits made from my art this year. So, I needed a space to post said pieces for sale. I will also use this blog to keep you updated on the donations made!
