LR Montgomery is no stranger to the woods . Nor does he want to be .
Montgomery grew up near Potlatch , Idaho , and spent happy hours of his childhood hunting and fishing with his dad and his uncle . He still enjoys being outdoors and has a love of nature that shows through in his paintings .
The Dishman Hills is one of his major passions . He has been painting there for 30 years and has donated some of his art to auctions to spark interest in the area . He would love to try to get people to join and be members of the Dishman Hills Conservancy . “ I see so much beauty there , and it is so easy to get into conversations with people who love it as much as I do .” Named Dishman Hills Conservancy ’ s artist-inresidence , Montgomery tells me he knows lots of artists who would like to have that residency .
