I'm Monica Smith, Welcome.
Each painting I do becomes alive to me and as real as if they are there in the room.

I also studied with Kristii Millaine who excelled at wild life painting and is now very well-known in the USA. I studied under the acclaimed landscape artist, Kevin Boucher for a while but always came back to my first passion which is animal portraiture.
Having lived in such a beautiful part of the world as the Yarra Valley, and now coastal Victoria where wildlife abounds, how could I not want to bring animals to life with my painting.
I’m a member of The International Society of Scratchboard Artists.
One of my recent clients Paula Thomas said she was brought to tears when she first saw my painting of her dog Tilly, and another client Linda Heath told me that I don’t only paint an animal but I capture their soul as well.
