Growing up in New Zealand, Monique was never far from a beach or a farm. She was also never far from a sketchbook and paints as she aspired to be an artist like her Granny. Her love for nature always made its way into her sketchbooks.
Monique graduated with a degree in Art and Design and went on to work in a large media agency, as Deputy Art Director for four years, before making the move to Ireland with her husband in 2007. 12 years and five kids later, Monique and her family returned to live New Zealand where she continues to follow her artistic passion while raising a family.
Working mostly with oils, Monique’s artwork draws on nature and nurture and the simple joy it brings.
Monique continues to serve a global audience from her Auckland based studio.
