See what students have to say about Monique's teaching:

Monique, you’re a fabulous teacher, so well organized, that I knew this course would be a real treat. I'm enjoying the cold wax course, too. Several of my Cold Wax paintings were just juried into a regional show. What a surprise! I’ve been painting with oils for years and never liked acrylics, but I think that you and the FB group have changed my mind. I started out with acrylics in the early 80’s and hated them. They were all over me, my brushes were hard as rocks, etc. So thank you for sharing your skill and, your humor is the best. 

Vicki Micheal

Monique, this has been so much fun and I learned so much. I don’t want it to be over. I’m going to take another one of your online classes.

Judy Avrett

Monique, thank you! I was greatly influenced by your work and your online courses, and even though I have to go back through them again and actually do more of the paintings, you really have been an inspiration and influence.

Laura Jones

Monique, you are an inspiration to me. I walked away from painting for over a year until I signed up for your oil and cold wax class, now I paint everyday at least five paintings. Painting is all about having fun and enjoying what comes natural instead of being regimented, and that is what you have done for me. Thank You.

Diana Packard

Monique, thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your online courses. It is greatly appreciated.

Catherine Cromwell

Every time I take a workshop I learn so much! Monique, you are a gifted artist and such a caring person. We are blessed to have you as our teacher. You bring out the best in all of us!

Mary Duke McCart

I knew I wanted to investigate painting techniques that Monique uses, but I had no idea how much they would influence my style of painting. I feel like I experienced a watershed moment!!!! Looking forward to keeping plugged into Monique's inspirational works.

Carol Dixon

I discovered Monique Carr while I was at an art gallery in Banner Elk! Her work is so dynamic, fresh and alive I wanted to learn how to paint with all the beautiful layered techniques that she uses! I was thrilled to join her Autumn colors workshop! And because I am a retired art teacher, I was really happy that the other students were all accomplished artists! 

She is enthusiastic and innovative in her teaching style! She does great demonstrations and helps everyone individually! I learned a great deal in two days and hope that I can incorporate some of what I learned to be looser and more 21st century with my own work! Thank you Monique for sharing your fabulous style! 

Dale Stryker

Monique, you inspire me so much and I am so thankful to know you and learn from you! Thank you for your abundance, motivation, e piu!! Baci e Mille Grazie, 

Dee Datrifiletti

The art community and those who love fine art are recognizing Monique Carr more and more for her bold and vibrant paintings.  Her fame is on the rise and yet, she continues to share her skills and talents with those who aspire to be artists.  In her own words...she enjoys it all...contemporary, abstract, impressionist, and plein air.  I have taken several different classes with her, both contemporary and impressionistic.  In each, she had students of all levels of experience and she worked diligently to meet each at their own level.  Her innovative teaching techniques make for a delightful day of class and have inspired me to pour myself into my art anew.
