About the Artist
Monica Alexander (She/Her) is a Mexican American artist from Houston, Texas, and a fixture of Atlanta’s art community for more than a decade. A graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design (BFA in Illustration), she’s known for bright color palettes, bold linework, and playful explorations of symmetry. Her imagery often centers around women, lush florals, and flowing, magical hair that seems to spill off the page. Working primarily in traditional media, she favors the feel of brush on paper; gouache is her medium of choice, complemented by watercolor, spray paint, and occasional digital work.
Clients & Commissions
Monica’s work has been shown in galleries across Atlanta and abroad, including ABV Gallery, Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, and the former Facet Gallery. Internationally, she was invited to paint a seven-foot-tall Día de los Muertos skull for the Mexicráneos urban art exhibition, which has been presented in Mexico City, Spain, and France. Her clients and partners include Color ATL, Forward Warrior, Atlanta Crossroads Mural Festival, Living Walls, Duopress Publishers, Creative Loafing, and the Atlanta Braves.
Charitable Works
Monica uses her practice as a platform for community good, donating several custom paintings each year for auction with proceeds directed to nonprofits. Her work champions equity and visibility for women and LGBTQ+ communities—including queer and trans people—reflecting both struggle and resilience across the U.S. and Mexico. Recent community partners and beneficiaries include Black Visions Collective, ATL Roller Derby, local mutual-aid groups, and the Atlanta Solidarity Fund.
