For Monica art has always been a big part of her life. Her mother who was an art teacher at the time taught her how to paint and draw as part of her enrichment. While living in a third world country and before immigrating to the U.S art was the only access to an after school activity besides child’s play. So with practice she was entered and in result won two silver and one gold medal at an international Japanese children’s contest. From early on her love of art grew.
Since then Monica has continuously pursued the arts for spiritual means as her sense of identity. From Canvas to dress form she graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a BFA in Fashion Design as well as the Paris Fashion Institute in Paris, France. Fashion has always been an influence in her paintings and you can see it in the acid patterned signature background, bright lively colors as well as her love of the feminine mystique.  This year she has taken a fuller focus on her art and she still finds herself experimenting with many styles inspired by the key moments in her life, history, media, and influential people.  
Monica is experienced on many types of mediums and likes to continuously switch it up. Whether its painting with different mediums, to computer graphics or mural paintings you can check out some of her past projects here.
