Monica Metsers

Monica is a prize winning Cumbrian Painter and Printmaker, who was born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1980, but has lived in the UK for most of her life. 

She explores depiction of place, particularly the landscapes and natural world she is drawn to; The Lake District and The West Coast of Scotland. She visits, explores and walks in both places regularly, where she uses a combination of memory, snapshots, and paint studies to create her works. 

In her paintings and prints, she looks to explore the place between seeing, feeling, experience and memory, expresses this with a sculptural quality, aiming for feeling and a sense of movement in her work.
