Paula La Mont
Artist, writer, and chef Paula LaMont was born on the coast of Virginia, minutes from the ocean. Surrounded by a large southern family where fresh seafood and garden vegetables were the centerpiece of their daily lives together. Now an Oregon transplant, Paula brings the same colors and flavors of her childhood to a life filled with painting, gardening and cooking in the Northwest.
In reference to her work with nature, Paula says, “I believe that we are drawn to images of nature because we need nature to be a part of our lives, even though we may be living in a city away from direct contact. I believe that my art brings those images to people in a positive, colorful and joyful way.”
Bringing all her passions together; cooking, gardening, and painting, Paula is currently producing a line of greeting cards and prints based on her original artwork. Each keepsake card features one of her original recipes on the back.
Paula’s home and garden has been featured in First for Women magazine. Her cards and recipes have been featured in LowCarbEnergy magazine, Kitchen and Cooks, and Artist Sketchbook.
Her cards and prints are available on line at

Paula is available for special commissions and private cooking lessons.
