MEMORIES and experiences of growing up in rural Fermanagh continue to influence the work of artist Amanda Montgomery, who is now based in Belfast. A fine artist, Amanda s pieces vary from paintings to sculpture, and the materials she uses always depends on the subject matter of her works. Here she talks to The Impartial Reporter about her artistic background, her artistic style and what art means to her. What is your artistic background? I MOVED from Fermanagh to Belfast to study Foundation Art at the University of Ulster. Furthering my studies at Coventry School of Art and Design, I graduated with a BA Honours First Class in Fine Art.

“I don’t know if you remember me,” an art student wrote to Helen Kapp, director of Wakefield Art Gallery, in 1960. “You once purchased a pot cat off me.” Kapp was the doyenne of the Yorkshire art scene at the time, known for acquiring young artists’ work for the Wakefield collection.
This student enclosed a catalogue for his solo exhibition at Skipton Castle. Kapp sent her excuses – the bus trip to Skipton would take a day – but hoped that, when he was home in Bradford, David Hackney (as she misspelled his name) would show her his pictures. Sadly, no trace of Britain’s greatest living painter’s “pot cat” survives.
