ABOUT

Monique Young

Illustrator 

Hailing from the Bronx, Graduated from The High School of Art and Design with a love and passion for art.     Earning a BFA at the School of Visual Arts for Cartooning Illustration, 2009, my passion grew as I began my journey freelancing as an Artist to experience the Art World.

​

I began as a Background Artist for an educational video company Skatewoman 2009-2010. Then illustrating as a Comic Artist for a weekly publication Cookies with Attitude 2012. 2014 participated in the Heros and Villains exhibition in Brooklyn NY, Eclipsing Prisms Art Show Host Pie by the Pound NYC. Continued on as a Colorist for the comic series Shadow of Darkness Vol 2. 

​

Fall 2019, motivated me to start my series Emotional Botany with ‘PotHead’. Therapy sessions inspired me to create change informing and impacting others in an inviting color-filled way using my Visual Voice to provoke awareness and open dialogue. My Art was well received and I was chosen to participate in the volunteer Curbside Canvas Program as one of New York Cities selected Artist's to paint original designs beautifying outdoor sheds at eateries during the COVID lockdown. April 2021 was the commission of  My mini mural on the Time Square shed at Patzeria Perfect Pizza.

​

My Emotional Botany piece, ' PotHead’, is the first of the series featured in the DSNY Art Show at Pace University 2021/22. I exhibited Hope/Faith for the Woman’s History Month Healing and Hope Group Exhibition at the Kente Royal Gallery Harlem NY March 2022. I exhibited under the Harlem Arts Alliance at the 15th Anniversary Harlem Fine Arts Show in February 2023.
