to the inner workings of a caribbean new yorker and, in turn, an island woman times three.
MONIQUE D. primarily sources her inspiration from the trailblazing places that have cultivated her; her ancestral lands spanning the global south (notably the lands of abundance & high mountains), and the melting pot of a city that seemingly never sleeps.
as a daughter of the tropics, and one who’s not taking commissions at the moment, MONIQUE is currently based between her parent islands—exploring, producing art that imitates life and the unknown & studying (all while also documenting her telenovela of a life on youtube). feel free to browse & keep your ideas in mind til time, and stay connected to follow her journey!
“ou sav, it’s not always about feeling plants or clinging to the bosom of the motherland..
sometimes it’s about feeling sand & submerging yourself in saltwater.”
