Aptly named, the show features people in both ordinary and unusual situations. The viewer is invited to speculate about the intent; in fact, La Mont encourages it as a kind of interactivity, noting that we are “hard wired” to try to make sense out of the situations we encounter. In the past she has been delighted to overhear viewers spin incredible tales about the goings-on in the paintings, some of them completely counter to her original meaning.

The show features both small and large works painted in heightened, but not quite photographic realism. A graduate of New York’s Pratt Institute, La Mont works primarily in oil, citing its richness and proven longevity. She feels that narrative realism allows her to engage and connect with the widest range of viewers. Her paintings have been exhibited in solo and juried shows in thirteen states and the District of Columbia, and reside in over 50 international private and corporate collections. Selected by area art critic F. Lennox Campello as Best New Realist of the 2009 Artomatic show, she has also garnered a number of national awards, including Best in Show.
