About

Monica Perez-Roulet was born in Argentina and trained as a graphic designer. In 1986 she began working in ceramics and studying painting and drawing with the respected Argentine art teacher María Luisa Manassero, who encouraged her never to stop painting.

She worked as a freelance designer before moving into industrial design, where she created a contemporary line of neon lamps for architects, artists and designers. For 15 years she also worked with advertising companies, manufacturing beer signs and point-of-purchase displays. Through those busy years, she never stopped painting and sculpting.

In 2002 she moved to the United States, where she took several courses in abstract painting with Steven Cushner at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, DC.
