Monsell’s passion for the French impressionists shines through in her work engaging the viewer and spreading light and joy, River Arts said in a prepared release.
Monsell has been a Maine resident since 2000. She recently participated in Bowdoin College’s 100th anniversary of the Hawthorne-Longfellow Library, with original silhouettes of the two writers as Bowdoin undergraduates on view.
Monsell has been an artist since she “could hold a crayon,” she said in a news release, and has increased her art making markedly in the past two decades.
