Meet The ARTIST

WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?
I am Monica Wells, artist. Originally from northern Indiana, I am now living in Hammond’s Ferry and travel frequently to Hilton Head area, among other places. My passion is 2D art – painting and drawing. My greatest pleasure is to create where others can watch the process unfold.  Especially in unexpected places

DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.
Inspiration takes the lead. Adventure and exploration fuel the Inspiration.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
The world around me. The knowledge that what is created through my hands has the potential to change lives.

FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.
I love to hike. In a kilt. Alone. In the mountains.
A side of danger and adrenaline make the adventure even better.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.
Life is lived primarily outdoors where the architecture is beautiful and natural spaces are being recreated. The area is rich in history and buzzing with good art energy.

WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE?
We are all in God’s hands and we are His hands. Spreading His light and love, through art, is my purpose on this earth.

WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS?
Do what feels right, with faith in God and His plans for you.

My sit-still is broken. Exploration is in my blood. I have a 10 day limit in any one place before stir-crazy sets in and my energy makes everyone around me feel crazy too! Exploration inspires art, it keeps my spirit free, and enables me to share with many people.
Anyone can watch art created through a screen. I get to share it in real life situations. Live and in person creates a sense of awe that can change lives.
