Tabby Ivy Fine Art

Contemporary Expressions of Nature's Beauty

Tabby Ivy grew up a Southern California girl. Her education led her to a profession in healthcare where she was involved in the early years of Echocardiography, working as product and marketing manager for a diagnostic ultrasound company in Seattle, WA. In 1991 she moved to Montana's Bitterroot Valley. After thirty-three years in Montana she now lives in Carlton, Oregon.

A self-described autodidact as an artist, her ongoing creative curiosity and refinement of her unique style has brought her work recognition and collectors  from across the country. An avid supporter of the Arts in Montana, she was a curator of the Hockaday Museum of Art's groundbreaking 2015 exhibition, "A Timeless Legacy, Women Artists of Glacier National Park". She won the Gamblin Award of Excellence for her painting, "The Golden Hour" at Dana Gallery's Icons of the West show in Missoula, Montana, and has been a featured artist in exhibitions throughout Montana and the US.

She describes her work as “contemporary expressions of Nature’s beauty”. Her paintings often begin when a mood, scene or thought breaks through the everyday to spark an idea or call to creative action. She relies on intuitive spontaneity, curiosity and risk taking to guide her through the painting process. Her work is not a literal depiction of a landscape, scene or subject. She purposely strives for her paintings to be evocative and engaging while leaving a bit of mystery and interpretation for the viewer.
