I am an artist based in Queensland, Australia. My work explores themes of time, growth, transformation and evolution in all aspects of life. I do this by including surreal elements and re-occurring imagery like flowers, eyes and fungi. The use of lines throughout my work create movement, both fluid and still. They capture time, the way it rushes forward yet pauses in quiet moments, holding memories and emotions in place.

Hi, I’m Monae

I create art to build a story, one where imagery replaces words. Blending femininity with darkness, I work towards an unsettling yet intriguing experience, one you cannot look away from.

My work is created traditionally by hand, with great attention to depth and detail. Art is so deeply personal, it is how I express the feelings that I have no words for. So here it is, from me to you.
