Hi, I’m Monna Barrick, originally from Oklahoma and have lived in Mesa, Arizona for many years. Since 1982,

I have been lucky enough to make my living as an artist, having studied with such notables as Leon Franks, John Howard Sanden, Bettina Steinke, Leslie DeMille and Norman Rockwell’s famous art course instructors.

My works are impressionism and are mostly done with palette knife, combining some details with the brush. I love to paint all subjects including this beautiful desert so rich in color.

A wonderful influence in my life was my late husband Jim Barrick, a professional artist in his own right. I learned many valuable lessons from him. I now teach art and painting two days a week in Mesa.

Life is great when your job is doing what you love! I really hope you like what you see here as much as I enjoy painting them. Thank you for looking!

Monna
