DESIGNER JUANITA MONTGOMERY
Juanita is a young artist redefining the correlation between art and spirituality. She’s no stranger for being a wild child, and misunderstood but that’s exactly what move those that know her the most.
Bringing in a new era riding a fresh tsunami, her projects out are changing the narrative with a tunnel vision focus that’s she’s GOING ALL THE WAY !
Making her entrance into the underground art scene in December 2017, with a live painting in the Chattanooga Diamond Ball Festival, Juanita has built her brand, career, reputation, and relationships brick by brick.
She followed that act with indulging into the modeling world. Being a canvas for artist and brands in Chattanooga, she has gained her keys through her dauntless nights working to build her credit and name in the underground niche appearing in a wide range artistic catalog, such as rap videos, to live art shows, YouTube videos, city art panels, city developing panels, to creating her own underground puff & bible studies.
She’s uses her keys from the streets and combine it with her keys from her relationship with God and spirituality. She’s not of this world, but she is for it. She does it for the kingdom and the culture in her own unique way.
She is known for her bluntness, and bold business archives as well as projects to come. She has a God given vision and a purpose that will unquestionably precede her time.
With the ability to adapt she time travels through multiple crowds gaining wisdom and translating it through her art. There is truly no way to describe her soul because she is ceiling less, she’s not just a person she’s more of an experience.
Bringing up the topic of what it is she exactly does the only resolve is that Juanita herself is simply ART. However to be logical about the topic her bountiful tree has many branches that produces fruit.
