"Trudy Montgomery and I have collaborated on numerous creative projects over the last six years. In each interaction she excels, showing clarity in communication, creativity, vision and good spirit. Trudy has a well trained eye for artistic quality in both her art advising through Blue Tangerine Art as well as in her own studio practice. I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak to the excellence, grace and creativity that define Trudy Montgomery."

- A.H., Marin, CA (March 2010)
"The painting came early! We just hung it. It is a wonderful piece. Truly a beautiful work that pulls everything together in our room. The colors could not be more perfect. We are thrilled. Please extend Kathy [Montgomery] our thanks and congratulations on a tremendous [commission]. We love it and are proud to have her work in our home."
- Jim and Tiffany, Mt Vernon, NY (Nov 2009)
"Blue Tangerine Art provided the assistance we needed to begin building a collection of art which reflects our style and interests. Trudy provided a broad preview of artists' work based on our discussions with her that matched well with our collective taste. We've met some of the artists, visited galleries and even previewed some pieces at our home, resulting in several exciting purchases. We've had a great experience working with Trudy and would highly recommend her as an art consultant."

"This workshop helped me critically examine my motivation for the work that I do and become articulate about where I want to go within my career. Thank you!"
- Megan Ender, Artist and Arts Educator (May 2009)
I just want to tell you that I find your newsletters very informative and professional. Thank you for what you are doing.
- J. Behman, Artist (December 2008)
I really enjoyed listening to you speak on the topic of art this evening. I've never really been interested in art, even though I can appreciate the work that goes in to a piece of art, and I can tell when paintings or drawings make me feel good, I don't really know much about it. You have a certain passion, which is infectious. I could see [art] as fresh, interesting, and alive through your eyes. I've never seen it from that perspective before. Listening to you speak about artists, galleries, and collectors, made me think, Hmm...there may be something to this? (And I also feel like I got to listen in on the inner workings of some secret society!)
- B. Smith, San Anselmo, CA (November 2008)
Thank you so much for your inspiring presentation at the ICB on Friday evening. I am just now beginning to look at new ways to promote my artwork, and to have more confidence to do so. Listening to your ideas helped me to see that it is not entirely the daunting task I envisaged!
- C. Rabin, Artist, Sausalito, CA (November 2008)
Trudy will lead you into the art world with intelligence, knowledge and style.
- L. Bostwick, San Francisco (July 2008)
A great comprehensive way to think about taking the first steps toward collecting art.
- On "The Art of Collecting" seminar (July 2008)
I just want to thank you again for an absolutely wonderful time today. I really enjoyed visiting the art galleries and art shows. I always learn so much when I'm with you! It truly was very helpful to see everything in person and I'm very excited about our new pieces.
- M. Berk, San Francisco (March 2008)
You have a wonderful way of coming into our office and improving the look! Thank you for helping us out!

I would recommend Blue Tangerine Art in general, and Trudy Montgomery specifically, to anyone interested in exploring contemporary art.
- Corporate Collector, San Francisco (April 2007)
Thank you for all your help buying art. I am
tremendously excited about our growing collection.
- Private Collector, Florida (March 2007)
My husband and I were drawn to Blue Tangerine Art because of their exceptional portfolio of artists, their deep understanding of the artists and their work, and Trudy's incredibly personal touch.
- Private Collector, San Francisco (January 2006)
Blue Tangerine was recommended to me by a serious art collector in Houston. I have received knowledgeable feedback on the global art market from Blue Tangerine. Their knowledge is based on experience and a serious perspective on the global art market.
- Allison Hunter, Artist (June 2007)
Finding the art we like takes time, which we simply don't always have. Trudy found us artwork we love and presented it to us in our home... a great service.
- Private Collector, Burlingame, CA (December 2006)
The house staging consultation with Blue Tangerine Art and the art I purchased from them definitely helped me sell my home, and at the asking price!"
- J. DeArmand, San Francisco Realtor & Home Owner (May 2006)
Blue Tangerine Art turns 'artspeak' into every day language I can understand.
- Private Collector, Los Angeles (October 2006)
Your presentation was so informative and your style comfortably down to earth.

The eclectic set of artists shown [by Blue Tangerine] ranges from well known established artists to emerging artists, which allows one to have a wide variety of options.
