Artists I Fancy: Monica Stewart

I discovered the art of Monica Stewart while looking for work by African-American artists that was similar to that of Lavarne Ross. Mr. Ross knows how to capture motion and his most famous work is called Tribute, which features African ballerinas.

Admirers have nothing but good things to say about this gifted female artist. Monica Stewart’s art has been described as “a contemporary expression of culture and sisterhood” because she captures “women of color celebrating life”. She gives her work “an authentic, ethnic flavor”. 

The next time you watch the movies “Waiting to Exhale” or “Romeo Must Die”, watch very carefully. Her artwork has been showcased via these films. Cool huh? :)
