​Monica DiGiovanni

Monica's work is inspired by many years of yoga and meditation practice, different forms of dance and movement and a love of nature. She's developed a meticulous style working with a deliberate multi-layering technique that mirrors the effects of watercolors and takes full advantage of the complex transparencies of high-quality oil paints. Painting surfaces evolve and shift depending on the light from sun up to sun down. In support of pollinators as part of the butterfly series, I put together a resource list of organizations and other outlets that are doing the work of saving pollinators for anyone to use and share.

For purchase, contact Monica directly with questions.

Solo Show: "Inside"

Location: ​Rebel Heart, State Street, Montpelier, VT
Reception: Friday, April 7 for Montpelier Art Walk, 4:00 - 7:00 pm
Show runs through April 2023
(Rescheduled from postponed February event)

Part of a larger body of work starting in 2019, Monica engages in the practice of bringing life into balance, one breath at a time, while meditating with paper, brush, and ink to paint ensō or Zen circles. One meditation paradigm (there are many) states that when exploring the mind there are essentially three views: "inside, outside, and in between." These current paintings explore the inside facet of this approach. It's possible to gently unthread the complex human experience of being alive in this lifetime through quieting the mind and the senses. A quiet mind reflects contentment and peace.
