Monika is a painter based on the west coast of British Columbia with an insatiable curiosity about the ecosystems that support our world. Growing up on a boat on Vancouver Island, and later calling the Coastal mountains home, her work makes evident her wide variety of environmental interests from the health of juvenile salmon, to the systems of watersheds, the significance of melting glaciers, and her backyard songbird species.

Through painting, she has sought out opportunities that allow her to use her artistic abilities and experience in the realms of design and land management to work in support of her passions.
