Monica is a visual artist, writer and co-director of The Market Studios in Dublin.

Following a qualification in fashion design from Limerick College of Art & Design in 1992 and three years as a self-employed designer Monica eventually found herself in the visual arts by way of a meandering career in arts administration. 

Adopting an engaged research practice she employs interviews to examine local history and site.  She is interested in the legibility of site and how both local and global histories intersect.

Initially working in print and drawing media her practice has expanded to include audio visual installation, photography and text.  Recent exhibitions include the group shows Our Shared Existence at Ard Bia Gallery, Galway (Dec 2007) curated by Cleo Fagan and The Salon Show at the Original Print Gallery, Dublin (Sept 2007). 

A  2007 graduate of MA Visual Arts Practices IADT, Monica is a contributor to Circa Online and The Visual Artists News Sheet.
