Monica Cowsert

Monica Minshew Cowsert lives and works in Dallas, Texas. A native of Sherman, Texas, she has always been surrounded by the arts in one form or another. Her earlier years were spent studying music where she played the harp from a young age and continues to this day.

Monica had the opportunity to study art history in Europe and was heavily influenced by the art and colors of Mexico where she lived and took art classes for a summer in San Miguel de Allende.

Monica continues to explore art techniques with classes en plain air, encaustic, and mixed media while keeping oil painting as her focus. Updated samplings of her works can be seen on Instagram and Pinterest.

Picturesque landscapes, whimsical cityscapes, beautiful birds, flowers and animals are all brought to life with contrasting and harmonious colors and bold compositions. These influences and Monica’s love of nature are clear in the art she creates. Her vibrant colors and layering of those colors creates a distinctive personal style, emanates joy and peace and expresses a vibrant spirit.

Privately educated in art through various teachers, workshops, and working daily on my art skills.
