Monica Echeverri is a landscape oil painter currently based in Santa Clarita, a suburb right outside of Los Angeles, California. She was introduced to art making at five years old, when her parents enrolled her in fine art classes after watching her constantly admire the paintings displayed through their front window.  There, she played around with charcoal, pastel, watercolor, and oils for seven years. She continued her practice at home with oil paint, the medium she connected with the most at the time. 

Throughout high school, college, and graduate school, Monica always kept painting as a hobby, but never pursued it professionally until a few years ago. Still, her love for painting landscapes never swayed. She draws inspiration from moments outdoors that leave an impact on her, whether it be from soft color gradients in the sky to a bright full moon, she aims to capture these fleeting moments on canvas so they can be cherished at home forever.

In her professional years of painting, Monica's work has been displayed in local coffee shops and featured in several local magazines, such as Shoutout SoCal and Voyage LA. She has also been selected for juried fine art festivals, such as The Beverly Hills Fine Art Show and Hermosa Beach Fine Art Show. Her work is a reflection of her love for the natural world, which she aims to paint in a way that brings a sense of peace and calm into new spaces.
