Let’s talk!
Set up a call with me to learn about how Intuition Painting® may be helpful to you.
“Intuition Painting is exactly what I needed...a respite, freedom, a container and community to hold all the feelings! Montine is a beautiful, honest soul and so easy to work with.”
An Interview with Montine Blank
Hi. I’m Montine.
I am the visionary founder and master facilitator of Intuition Painting®. Applying this one-of-a-kind process, I offer classes, retreats, coaching, and certification training to individuals and groups globally.
My personal journey with intuitive art-making began in 1999, and it has been an incredible gift, both to myself and to the individuals I have had the privilege to guide.
Answering a strong calling to lead this work, I completed a comprehensive two-year facilitator certification program under the guidance of dearly departed Aviva Gold, the much-loved creator of Painting from the Source. In addition, I embarked on an additional two-year self-assigned apprenticeship, dedicated to ensuring my ability to confidently navigate the expansive healing dimensions of this work.
Over the years, this practice has strengthened my resiliency and fortified my faith in myself. Each time I paint in this way, I find profound healing, invaluable insights, guidance, and boundless inspiration. I have learned to trust and honor my intuition. Today I fully trust my intuition and embrace openness and wholeness in my life.
I am here to guide you on a journey of self-discovery through the therapeutic magic of intuitive painting. Together, we'll unlock your creativity and embark on a path of healing and transformation.

“I just love Montine. She is that rare gift of honoring, listening, seeing, knowing, and engaging us to grow at our own pace however we need. With her, the scariness in looking at our darker places is all OK and becomes something we grow to look forward to. Gentle, wise, and fiery, amazing healing alchemy is Montine.”
Background & Education
In addition to my Intuitive Process Painting facilitator certification, I earned a degree in Human and Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University, hold a Master in International Business from the Moore School, USC, and completed a robust Transformational Coaching Certification.
Prior to focusing on Intuition Painting®, I led Executive Training and Change Management with Accenture, a large consulting corporation, and built a number of businesses of my own. Having a penchant for creating unique, community-supporting upstarts, I founded The Green Half, GreenPlate, T-Shirt Construction Co., The More You,Green Kid Parties, RealM Gallery, and CraZy MoOn ArT RoOm — all businesses that afforded out-of-the-box thinkers an opportunity to find good, right, and fun in one place.
Detailed Work Experience
I spent eight years working for Accenture out of the US and London creating and delivering internal Executive Leadership training programs, consulting with telecommunications and technology clients, designing and developing performance management systems, managing strategic global internal communications, and moving employees swiftly through comprehensive change programs.
I also served as Executive Account Director with Big Fuel, a Publicis Groupe company, leading Samsung’s Global social media footprint, JP Morgan Chase social media strategies, and Anheuser-Busch social media campaigns.
Prior to that, I launched The Green Half, a thriving online business with 10,000 subscribers who frequented the site to purchase gift cards to sustainable businesses, while supporting local non-profits. Before being sold to Cumulus Media, The Green Half was originally linked to GreenPlate, Inc., a non-profit organization I co-launched which was aimed at the reduction of disposable plastics consumption.
In the decade previous, I served as Regional Director for Ladies Who Launch, mentoring female entrepreneurs with their startup launches. Personally, I concepted and created three one-of-a-kind art businesses, CraZy MoOn ArT RoOM, T-Shirt Construction Co., and Paint Awake – each applauded in the press for value and ingenuity. T-Shirt Construction Co. was rated 2006 Critic’s Pick for best in New Art Trends by the Creative Loafing and voted top 100 “IT” List by Sunday Paper.
From international satellite training and communications projects to unique retail shops, I have enjoyed the challenges and rewards of launching success. My breadth of experience allows me to speak from personal experience when addressing my clients' visions, goals, and concerns.
