Monique is primarily a landscape artist, drawing inspiration from both the Scottish and Dutch Landscape. Painting predominantly in oils, she tries to capture the atmosphere that it creates. She is particularly interested in painting skies and capturing the everchanging light and drama. Monique works initially from sketches she makes during long walks, using mostly graphite and oil pastels. These sketches get worked out in her studio into paintings.
