Monica Miller-Mortel is this year’s winner of the Bonifas Membership Show Award for having a studio exhibit solo show. She was been a member of the Bonifas Arts Center for many years and has been an artist for just as long. She started in oil color painting but when it came time to travel she needed to find a medium that would travel well so she started watercolor painting. A few years back she took a workshop that we offered here in alcohol ink and fell in love with it. She has only been working in this medium for a few years now but has already
mastered it! We hope you enjoy the show.
