Monica was born in 1964 in Chicago, Illinois. She studied fashion, art and design at Northern Illinois University. She worked for a jewelry company in California before moving to France in 1994 when she began painting full time. After having explored techniques in watercolor and oil, she discovered acrylic to be most compatible with her personal vision of nature--full of energy, light, movement and rhythm.
"I’ve always been connected to nature, landscape, and light. I love being out-of-doors and revel in each season. The theme of the tree is found throughout my paintings because this image allows me to feel what I need to paint. The tree symbolizes life and the journey of each one of us—ever changing and evolving, finding our place in the world and putting down roots..."
