Monica Arledge

Growing up in the Peruvian Andes, I used to ride my grandfather’s horses. That love never left me. I enjoy portraying them but more than a picture a feeling of a long-time memory. 


As a self-taught artist, my genuine admiration for the human figure became a passion for me. When I work on a portrait, a face, or a figure there is story beneath it all to tell.
