Punctuating her rhythmic, gestural marks with varying shades of purples, greens, blues and reds, Monica creates a vivid painting that will add dimension and a pop of color to any space. Using both oil paint and oil pastel, this painting marries Monica's textured abstract style with her love of portraiture. This painting is created on a vintage canvas that Monica first painted over 25 years ago as a young art student.

As an artist, Monica studies the concept of excavation and discovery and she explore consistent themes of change and evolution using various mediums including oil paint, acrylic paint, oil stick, ink, house paint, gesso and pastels. She uses heavy sculptural layering to explore the dynamic tension between the unintentional stroke and the meticulously planned one. Together, these gestures create connection and movement, and her intuitive mark-making reflect her spirit and the humanness of her experiences.

Monica has been featured in various publications including Popular Photography, Create magazine, and the Huffington Post. In 2019 she was named "Best Artist" in Westchester by Westchester magazine. Her work has been shown at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City, Photo LA, Art Market Hamptons, PULSE Art Fair, and the New York Mercantile Exchange, among others. less
