Monica Marks

Monica Marks is a mixed-media artist whose work delves into the intersections of generational trauma, body positivity, and the often unseen realities of living with a hidden disability. Utilizing found and everyday objects—such as tins, acetate sheets, textiles, rusted items often discovered in the desert, and archival imagery—she examines themes of collective memory and contemporary identity. Through intricate layers and tactile craftsmanship, her art explores the persistent impact of invisible struggles while fostering spaces for vulnerability, healing, and connection.
