Monika’s primary desire, as an artist, is to promote personal empowerment through creativity.  Monika graduated with honours from The Ontario College of Art and Design. Her work has been recognized for its originality of thought, exploration of technique, and its social commentary.  She is interested in diverse ideas about art and its place in community culture, and sees art as a process of discovery and communication. Monika teaches design and technique, similar to that which she uses in her own art, as well as more focused training at an intermediate level to those people wishing to develop particular techniques.
