Judge
Mary Monk
Mary Monk has been an award winning professional artist for over thirty years. Her work can be found in a myriad of public and private art collections including permanent art collections belonging to St. Tammany Parish, the state of Louisiana and the Bayou Teche Museum. She has appeared in numerous magazines including Plein Air, Pastel, Louisiana Life, New Orleans Art Review, St. Charles and Edge of the Lake.
Her primary medium is pastel and she is mostly known for her country/urban landscapes. No matter the subject, mood and light are always the true focus of her paintings. Her choices of color and subject matter are heavily influenced by growing up in the city and moving to the country to raise her family. The transition of urban to country sparked an infinite pool of inspiration for the artist. The majority of her paintings are scenes done en plein air.
Mary Monk grew up in New Orleans and has been living in Abita Springs with her husband and four children for the past thirty years. She is represented by LeMieux Galleries in New Orleans, Rita Durio and Associates in Lafayette, Louisiana and Studio Gallery in Natchez, Mississippi.
Her museum shows include, The Louisiana State Museum, Louisiana Arts and Science Museum, The Dixon Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, The Hilliard Museum in Lafayette, The Walter Anderson Museum in Mississippi.
