Monica Gewurz

Oral Interview with Monica Gewurz for the JMABC Artists Scribe. Interviewed by Carol Herbert. Monica tells the story about how her parents met and how they ended up in Peru, where she was born. She describes how she ended up in Canada through education in the sciences where environmental planning was a large focus of her studies and careers, and how environmentalism informs her art practice. Monica talks about her mission of incorporating visually pleasing images, most often natural landscapes, to advocate for environmental causes. These works often include using upcycled materials and attempts to illicit emotional response from the viewer in hopes of bridging the gap between art and science in her work. Monica discusses her experimental processes of making paintings and mixed-media pieces, and how she revisits old works to upcycle them as her methods change. She also explains her self confidence and adaptability, and how this has led to work with galleries, commissions and charity. She closes with thoughts on the accessibility of art.
