Collection: Monique van Someren

Monique van Someren is an oil painter, sketchbook artist, and macro photographer. She enjoys working in series, with her primary focus on the animals of the Thousand Islands region. Currently, she is creating a series called "Garden Party," which depicts the animals that visit her backyard. 

Monique sets these creatures in scenes inspired by her experiences, stories, and dreams. She finds daily motivation as she observes them playing on her deck and lawn. A camera is always on standby, providing her with endless inspiration and reference material. Through this new series, Monique hopes to bring smiles to her viewers and encourage them to recognize and appreciate the beauty that surrounds them.
