MEET MONICA
My philosophy of art is about the process; how it feels to create and be creative.
To me, this is the feeling of FREEDOM.
I'm lucky to be doing what I love, and what I am most passionate about.
Hello! I’m Monica Norris, a proud mother to two curious and inspiring girls, who are the heart and soul behind my studio, Mon-Alisa.
One of the most important lessons I want to share with my daughters is the courage to chase their dreams and to always embrace the wonder that comes with discovering the world around them.
In my own life, I strive to lead by example — living passionately and authentically through my art. Expressing myself creatively allows me to stay true to my values, and I hope that by doing so, I can inspire my girls to do the same.
I’m also deeply passionate about psychotherapy and art therapy, and the powerful role they play in emotional expression and healing. I believe in the transformative process of person-centered counseling, where art-making, free from judgment, offers people a safe space to express emotions that may be difficult to verbalise or access.
I feel truly honored to be part of my client's journey, supporting them through creative self-expression and helping them find healing and clarity.
