About Montine Blank
Certified Transformational Coach, ICF, IMBA, PFTS
Intuition Painting® Master Facilitator & Trainer
Welcome. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
I’m Montine Blank—artist, entrepreneur, intuitive mentor, transformational coach, and Master Facilitator of Intuition Painting®. For over 25 years, I’ve walked the winding, wild path of creative living. From corporate boardrooms to paint-covered studios, from global business strategy to spiritual inquiry, I’ve made a life that reflects what I now guide others to do: live your truth, create from your essence, and trust your inner wisdom to lead the way.
My professional journey has spanned continents, industries, and identities. I’ve worked as an executive with Fortune Global 500 companies and led social media strategy for global brands like Samsung and JPMorgan Chase. I’ve built multiple startups—including one that merged sustainability with commerce and another that brought art to life on the streets. I’ve launched a non-profit, created a unique style of tessellation photography, and spent years mentoring female entrepreneurs through every stage of their launch.
But my proudest work—my soul work—is the art of transformation.
I am the founder of Life is an Art and the Master Facilitator and lead trainer of Intuition Painting®. Through this powerful modality, I’ve guided hundreds of people to deepen their trust in themselves and awaken their creative intelligence.
Whether in paint, business, or life, I help people reconnect with their own inner knowing and create a life that feels aligned, alive, and entirely their own.
I know the terrain of both expansion and challenge. I’ve survived serious illness, endured heartbreaking loss, and rebuilt after betrayal. I don’t see these as footnotes—they’re part of the alchemy. My ability to guide others comes not just from professional expertise, but from lived experience. I know what it takes to rise, to rebuild, and to realign with the truth of who you are.
Today, I live in deep gratitude. I have created a life that reflects my passions. I trust myself. I love my people. I live my values. And I continually evolve.
What I know to be true is this:
Life is art. You are the artist. Your inner voice is the guide.
Helping others step into that knowing is the greatest honor of my work. If you're ready to reclaim your creativity, trust your intuition, and craft a life that feels deeply yours, I would love to walk beside you.

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.
