Art by Monique Oliver

Monique creates most of her work by pouring paint from cups, jugs and bowls directly onto a substrate. However, her latest pieces have a foundation of fluid art enhanced with brush work. The result is unique, vibrant and energised abstracts fusing organic shapes with intricate patterning.
Monique has been a professional artist and art educator for 7 years and has shown extensively both within the UK and overseas, in private galleries, public buildings and museums. Awarded the “Artrepreneur People’s Choice Prize” in 2021, she was also shortlisted for the Creates Magazines Artist Award 2019. Her work has sold into private collections globally and she is represented by fine art galleries in the UK, EU and Asia.
Monique describes herself as being “obsessed with paint behaviour” and along with testing artist products for several brands she launched the largest paint pouring course in the world in 2021 to rave reviews. She recently launched a new line of jewellery using recycled waste paint produced during her process, which has been very well received. She also delivers private acrylic pouring lessons from a dedicated workshop. All details can be found on her website at: www.moniqueoliver.co.uk.
This year, due to a downsize in studio during Covid and an impending house move, her open studio is being hosted by the Secret Gallery in Newent. Monique will be there in person both weekends of the event to showcase her new range of jewellery and chat to visitors about her process and her work. During the week the exhibition will be open during normal gallery hours.

Monique’s venue is always a popular stop on the annual art trail. Due to cancelled events and exhibitions during 2020/21 and a build up of inventory she is planning special discounts for this years farOpen event, which won’t be available anywhere else.
