About the Artist

Monica Pepicelli focuses mostly on landscape and nature paintings and is based in Topsfield, MA. Her pastel and oil paintings explore the beauty of the natural world.  Working mostly from photographs, Monica is interested in the capturing the light and how it transforms nature. She finds her greatest inspiration is the calming effect of nature and the way light creates a plethora of lines, shapes and colors in the shadows, highlights, and reflections.

Monica has studied for the past twenty years with various artist including Kat O’Connor, John McDonald, Margaret Genesis, Richard Suckling, Deborah Stewart and Jeanne Rosier Smith. She has most recently started immersing herself into abstract art with Meredith Rosier from the Woodstock School of Art.

Monica has shown her work at juried regional shows and art associations as well as local libraries. She teaches soft pastels to adults at Slow River Studio in Topsfield, MA. She has studied with local artists and attended independent workshops for the past 20+ years.
