Monique Jivram

Monique Jivram graduated from Winchester School of Art in 2007 and has continued to practice as freelance illustrator and embroiderer. Her ancestral roots are Latin American and the influence of her time spent in Peru and Colombia can be seen in her use of colour and vibrancy.

Monique’s work mixes black line illustration with embroidery and appliqué, she is aware of the significant importance of concept, but is heavily involved in process, believing technique and skill, hold just as much weight in creating work as concept does.

The Salud Mexico title speaks of a lively country and iconic images, it inspires a sense of tradition and most importantly, it inspires colour.
