One artist, one story. Meet today’s #artist365 feature Monique Cerundoio.

An artist, a poet, and a recently retired hospital Chaplain, Monique joined WAS in 2023 and since has been an active and joyful participant in many of the community events. Passionate about nature, her work aims to celebrate its beauty, complexity and vibrancy, as well as to express and instill emotion. For forty years she explored fabric art in the form of intricate pictorial quilts, which depicted nature in all its "moods." More recently, she has applied her knowledge of color and texture into fluid acrylics and mixed media. Here, she generally combines several fluid techniques to achieve a harmonious and expressive piece, generally, of an abstracted nature interpretation. She enjoys the natural movement of fluid acrylics and has pushed this medium to create landscapes, ocean views, florals, and geodes. Her most recent work explores luminosity as well, with the addition of glass and metallic foils.

Her work is on display in her studio 293 on the second floor at Western Avenue Arts, in Lowell. Each themed wall walks the guests through a journey of poetry, paintings and pictorial quilts. 

Monique’s art has been exhibited in the Loading Dock Gallery, in Cape Cod, and in the coming weeks a few of her pieces will be at the Gallery Twist in Lexington, MA (April 10 to May 10). Previously, her fabric art travelled through New England and beyond as a special solo exhibit on Grief: “Seasons of Grief and Hope” which combined her poetry and her quilts. Her studio is always open when she works during the week and she welcomes visitors to share in her love of art and nature’s wonders. Come on in!
