Monica Shulman is an artist and photographer based in the lower Hudson Valley of New York. Using bold gestures and marks, Monica uses her canvases to tell stories and her world is best described as colorful and rhythmic. Monica never met a color she didn't love!
A former lawyer who left her career to chase her passion for photography and art, Monica's biggest inspirations include her Latin culture and heritage, her family, nature, and her travels. When she's not painting in her studio, you can find Monica visiting her favorite museums and galleries in nearby NYC, hiking with her dog in the woods, cooking elaborate meals at home, hanging out with her family, or planning her next trip.
Monica has been featured in various publications including The Washington Post, Popular Photography, Create Magazine, Art Seen and Westchester Magazine. In 2019, the Director of PULSE Art Fair in Miami invited Monica to participate in the “Next Generation” exhibit to celebrate the fair’s 15th anniversary. She was inducted into the National Association of Women Artists in 2022. Her work has been shown at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City, the National Association of Women Artists, Frieze Los Angeles, Art Market Hamptons, PULSE Art Fair, The National Arts Club, and the New York Mercantile Exchange, among others. Most recently Monica was a featured artist inside the Chairish Gallery at Bergdorf Goodman in NYC.
