Born and raised in the piney woods of East Texas, Montgomery studied art at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of New Mexico. He currently lives east of Austin on 17 acres of land with his wife, several dogs, a few chickens and some reptiles. A full time painter and printmaker, he occasionally takes time out from his studio in the historic section of Elgin to search out and photograph reptiles and amphibians in the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America, Europe and Asia.
