I’m a Victorian based artist working from my studio in Geelong. My energetic and intuitive works use color, texture and bold marks to evoke the drama and movement in a diverse range of styles.
My creative energy is driven from a life of reflecting on the physical and the spiritual.
My work is the evolution of understanding color which can create a sense of oddity which is both sophisticated and simplistic. My playful use of color seems to dance on the canvas with a sense of freedom and movement.
My distinctive colorful style has won the Chroma Readers award and I also in 2016 I won the Jenny Trebilcock Encouragement Award form the Geelong Art Society. I also display my work on Instagram under the monika of `Red Baron’.
I’m an active member of the Geelong Art Society and have attended various painting groups. I have studied Commercial Art at the Art Training Institute in Melbourne as well as the How to Draw course offered through The Great Courses Corporation.
