Artist Statement for Ana Monaghan
|
|
|
My name is Ana Monaghan, and I paint wherever there is an opportunity. I spend a lot of time in both Hawaii and Japan. Much of my art is done out of doors, while directly viewing the subject (on location, called plein-air art).
I wish to idealize every separate island in the Pacific region, and show the local people and scenery in their native beauty. I am currently offering my art to hotels in the Pacific and Caribbean regions. I have travelled 30 countries.
Recently, I was commissioned by Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) to produce some art for their new liner, The Pride of Hawaii. The project was comprised of 16 large works: Polynesian people and island scenes of my choosing. Many of the paintings are about 6 feet square. I had about 10 weeks to do this project.
Last I heard, an original Gauguin painting is being shown with my work.
Would you like to own some of this art? Giclees of the same size are available. I retouch giclees to appear as originals. Have a cruise line original in your living room-- same size and with fresh application of paint, upon request.
I also do commissioned works. Able to suit a specific decor and materialize a dream or idea.
Some original paintings are in my studio-- ready to send off.
My instructors studied under the best impressionists in America of the early 1900s. Some were associates of Monet.
I paint in similar styles, from life or from visions:
Impressionist (Monet)
Symbolic (Gauguin)
Fauvist (Vllimink)
Japanese (Kai)
Prices are negotiable; and art is original-- well suited to the decor and architecture.
+Giccles of all paintings represented are available.
+Commissioned paintings can be done for government projects, hotels, restaurants, condominiums, hospitals, schools, libraries, ships, corporations, or homes, etc.
+Original Paintings are in stock and are available.
