Monika Loevenmark is a Canadian environmental artist with a deep curiosity for the natural ecosystems that support our world. She holds a bachelor of fine arts from Emily Carr University,a bachelor in environmental design and architecture from the University of British Columbia and has studied painting and the environment in England and Iceland, respectively.
Growing up on a boat on Vancouver Island, and later calling the Coastal mountains home, her paintings make evident her wide variety of environmental interests from the health of juvenile salmon, the systems of watersheds, to the significance of melting glaciers and her backyard
songbird species. Her work focuses on visualizing our connections to the natural world by working with scientists and data to combine the artistic expression of her paintings with the communication of scientific concepts.
Monika is a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Artists for Conservation and has had her work exhibited in Canada, the US, Sweden, Japan and England. She spent five years with Squamish Search and Rescue and volunteers with environmental conservation groups as she believes that art and the environment are inextricably connected.
