Monty Whitfield, a New England acrylic artist, is a resident of Nashua, New Hampshire. Monty blends elements from the natural and ancient worlds.

The Lowell Sun writes, "...Monty Whitfield's vivid nature paintings are created to slow a fast-paced planet and for one instant, allow the viewer to reunite with the grandeur of the natural world.' "

The Telegraph writes, "Monty studied at the Durer School of Art in Manila, Philippines. Whitfield's paintings are vibrant, colorful...and has a story behind them."

Accordingly, New Hampshire's state newspaper, The Union Leader writes, "...Whitfield's style is impressionistic realism. His paintings mix impressionistic backgrounds with realistic foregrounds..." and his instinctual brushstrokes lend an original look to his landscapes and oceanscapes.
His painting style is highly influenced by Henri Martin, Albrecht Durer and Ancient Art.

As an artist, he is affiliated with the Sharon's Art Center, Manchester Artists' Association (MAA), the Nashua Area Artists' Association (NAAA) and the Artists' League of Lowell (ALL).

His painting, "Golden Eagle", is in the permanent collection of Nashua City Hall. He has been interviewed on TV 13 and unveiled the "Golden Eagle" on TV 16.
He was interviewed on the the One hour WSMN Radio Talk Show, "Art in Action. 
Along with being interviewed on the one hour WSMN, Radio Talk Show, "Art in Action"; Monty just celebrated a 20 year Retrospective of his Art.

Monty's paintings, "Primordial Forest" and "Starry Eyed Angel", won First and Second Place in Acrylics, at Manchester's, "Arts in the Park", respectively. Monty gave a 1 hour Art Demonstration entitled, "An Evening with ACRYLIC ARTIST Monty Whitfield!"; at the N.A.A.A.'s General Membership Meeting.

Afterward:
"With a writer and painter as a mom and a father who was a graphic and fine artist, Whitfield's childhood memories are sprinkled liberally with books and art....
He recalls a time at about age 11 when his father would lay out canvases, brushes and paint for the family and encourage everyone to paint the same subject-a tree, for example.
"Suddenly, he threw some salt on my tree and said, "Now look at that.' The effect was amazing as the salt drew in the paint and left white channels," Whitfield said.
