Toronto and Markham artist now gearing up for business

I have given notice to Markham Arts Council and am unfortunately stepping down as their bookkeeper. Met many wonderful artistic people over the last few years and will miss their interactions. However, I am now painting full time, along with graphic design and voice talent freelance work. There just don't seem to be enough hours in each day to fit everything in that I want to do, so I'm usually up before dawn!

Also, just to give you all a heads up that my next art exhibition will be in July, 2012 in Unionville, at the McKay Centre, which is run by the Varley Art Gallery. Lots to do until then, and hope to see you there!

Artistically yours, Monika

These majestic mountains provide a rugged backdrop for the snowbank that just had some caribou pass by.

Graphic Design or bust!

Wow, my new CorelDraw Graphics Suite X5 program has just arrived by courier.  I am anxious to spend the next few days getting familiar with this program.  If anyone has a logo, business card, flyer or brochure they need a designer for, please let me know, and I'll give you a great rate to help me practice!

new painting-Coorg Waterfall in India

I love waterfalls and there are beautiful ones all around the world.  I have just finished this painting in acrylic on canvas.  24" x 24" with bevelled edges.  It is my depiction of the waterfalls in Coorg (Kodagu), India.  What a beautiful place to refresh and meditate.
