Monica Shulman is a NY-based artist whose brand of gestural abstraction is a form of story-telling. Rooted in the traditions of abstract expressionism, her world is best described as colorful and rhythmic and her paintings reflect an evolving universe where communication is less concrete. Creating sculptural surfaces through her impasto technique, she engages the medium itself as a participant in her art. Emerging from the fluidity of her visual language and diverse mark-making, Monica’s process-oriented work explores themes of the human condition, identity, and self-reflection. A first generation American of Cuban and Argentinian descent, who left her career as an attorney to focus on her art practice full-time, Monica lives and works in the lower Hudson Valley with her family.
