Lola & Hop by Monica in Murwillumbah

I’m from Italy based temporarily in Murwillumbah. I’ve been painting since I was 14 yo and exposed my artworks in Cagliari, Milan and Seattle. As a human being, art is not an element that can be expressed with only one medium, for this I started my career as an architect, kept painting with oils, acrylics experimenting different surfaces. Music, photography, yoga and dance are all part of the scene. Recently I’ve spent one year travelling around all South America where I’ve learnt how to tattoo, from the only tattoo artist in the mystical Easter Island, the Polynesian land of Moai. From that moment I totally fell in love with the HandPoke technique. Our skin is the biggest organ in our body and my philosophy is to dedicate to each person a very unique and personalised design. I’m also a certified yoga teacher and herbalist, without any doubt my passion is to listen to your deepest voice and help you bringing it up with some of the tools I’ve learned on my journey.
