Lived experience, professional delivery.
Monica Brinkman is a Canadian artist who paints the part of her story that came after "I'm not doing this anymore." Her talks and workshops carry that same honesty: real, warm and practical, never performative.
With a double degree in art and accounting, years running her own studio and shop, and a growing speaking calendar, she brings both heart and a business head to everything on this page.
"Monica's art carries both fire and grace. It stirs reflection, invites courage, and gives women's stories a place to shine."

Questions, answered
Do you travel outside Ontario?
Yes. Monica speaks and teaches across Canada and recently presented in Winnipeg. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately and kept as lean as possible.
Are materials included for workshops and paint nights?
Yes. Canvases, paint, brushes, aprons and table coverings are included in the per-person price. You provide the space, tables and chairs.
Can sessions be delivered online?
Talks, marketing workshops and consulting all work well over video. Paint nights and art workshops are best in person, but a kit-based online version can be arranged for teams.
How far ahead should I book?
Four to six weeks is ideal for talks and workshops. Murals and websites are scheduled by project, usually with a four to eight week lead time.
Do you offer non-profit or community rates?
Yes. Shelters, community organizations and schools can ask about reduced rates. Fifteen percent of all art sales is already donated to human rights causes.
Have a date, a wall or a room full of people in mind?
Send a few details and Monica will reply within two business days with availability and a quote.
