Biography:
Monica Stewart is an African-American artist who resides in Northern California's Bay Area. She has a number of fine art originals, open edition and limited editions prints available. Her work can be seen on television and is also featured on the 1998 Bank of America Commemorative Calendar. Monica is known for her unique use of pastels, brilliant colors and sensitive interpretations of people of color. Monica has recently changed her style and explains, "My earlier work was predominately rendered with vibrant pastels. As a challenge for myself I decided to reduce my palette to a limited amount of color. Over the last two years I have been working on a material made from Egyptian palm fronds. This material with its natural textures and rich tan and brown colors makes an art statement of its own. It lends itself nicely to the ethnic feel of my latest work. On the Egyptian palm fronds I paint using a combination of mediums, which include India ink, acrylic paint and opaque watercolor. I really enjoy painting positive imagery of people. This can be seen in the majority of my work. In particular Rejoice and Whisper. I look forward to experimenting with other mediums and textures and I will continue to express and share my joy of living through my artwork". |
