Welcome, I'm
Monique, I’m a London based illustrator who creates
vibrant drawings which often incorporate vintage fabrics and contemporary embroidery.
This blog is dedicated to everything that inspires me, my finds and what I’m
currently working on (of course, there will be lots of drawing).
Sometimes
I draw things that make me smile, sometimes I draw things that I want to
remember and lots of the time I draw things that are inspired from overheard
conversations.
My daily
life consist of lots of coffee drinking followed by green tea drinking to calm
me down, drawing, working with fabrics and always making something. When I’m
not busy creating my own art works I run art classes for people with learning disabilities.
I'm so
happy that you have taken the time to stop by and hope that you check in often
