About Monica
Monica Adams creates oil paintings of beauty icons from the 1940s and 50s, their long hair and luscious lips layered with bold, colorful patterns. Embracing the natural weave of the canvas, the artist stretches her own canvases and uses clear gesso before layering charcoal and paints to achieve various washes and textures. The artist’s works are informed by her overseas travels to London, Paris, Venice, Umbria, Switzerland and Egypt, and indeed, the women in her paintings have a universal and timeless sense of beauty.
