About "Monika's Art":

My name indeed is Monika, and while I was born and raised on a farm in Germany, I had the chance to live and work abroad for 10 years in my first job. This led me to Austria, the UK, Dubai in the UAE, New Zealand, and -briefly- India before I returned to Germany for now. ||

I have a deep interest and appreciation for other cultures and languages, and I try to build bridges whereever I can. ||

A lot of inspiration comes from other regions of the world with an accent on Asia and Scandinavia. ||

I work as a doctor's assistant as a day job, and I have a little side business (just me) decorating cakes. You'll find my works on the web at www.tortenmaus.de and/or Instagram with the handle @tortenmaus.de for a look. ||

While I always created art throughout my life, I seldom dared to show it really, so the blockchain is indeed the first time I am 'outing' myself here - which is a huge step for me. Driven by life-long struggles with my self-worth, depression and anxiety, creating always has been and still is a way of expressing what is going on inside and cannot be expressed by words yet. This sometimes leads to spontaneous, creative outbursts, often changing the flow from my original intention. In most of the cases, finding the words for the title in the end is the expression of what was previously unspoken. ||

I'm glad you are a part of this journey now. For this, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. ||
