Monique was born and raised in a small mountain community in Southern California with four brothers. The forest, winter, and spooky tales from her hometown cultivated a fascination with macabre things. 

​

Her illustration work focuses on collector's edition posters of her favorite films and attempts to pull out themes connecting back to iconic art from the past. 

 

She studied at Laguna College of Art and Design and received her BFA in. 2012 and her MFA from California State University, Fullerton in 2021. Her traditional training strongly informs her visual style and uses traditional and digital painting tools interchangeably. 

 

She is also an Instructor at Fullerton and has taught Life Drawing for Animation and Perspective.
