Monique is an eco-conscious, internationally recognized, multi-disciplinary artist from Saskatoon, Canada with a 25-year exhibition history who has exhibited her artwork in hundreds of significant solo, invited and juried exhibitions in numerous countries. Many of these were solo exhibitions in public galleries and her works are held in public and private collections around the world. Some of the major collections include: Saskatchewan Arts Board, Saskatchewan Legislature, The Royal Alberta Museum, University of Washington Library, University of California-Los Angeles Library, Bytown Museum-Ottawa, and others.
Known for her concept-driven approach, Monique’s practice combines large-scale printmaking, installation, and sculptural work, often exploring social issues and symbolism through extensive research and experimentation. She creates gallery installations involving thousands of intricately screen printed and hand cut paper objects. Meticulously detailed individual pieces merge into a larger whole; the sum is greater than the individual parts. Her works push the boundaries of standard printmaking; enormous scale printmaking, installation based printmaking and working with three dimensions in printmaking.She has received grants from Canada Council for the Arts, Saskatchewan Arts Board and Creative Saskatchewan. Monique has juried and curated exhibitions in Canada, Italy and the USA.
