Oil Paintings by Rita Monaco
Italy
Rita Monaco was born in 1945 in Gioviano, Italy. In 1967, she settled in Edmonton, Canada, where she enrolled in the Fine Arts Honor Program at the University of Alberta majoring in painting and photography. After a 20-year career as a graphic artist and illustrator, she became a full-time painter and art teacher in 1993. A Vancouver resident since 1976, Rita's variety of subject matter reflects her eclectic personality and her many interests. She is a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
Rita's annual trips to Italy, her adolescent daughter Francesca, and her garden's flowers and fruits, all provide inspiration for her paintings. Her works are present in collections in Canada, France, Italy, Mexico, and United States.
More of Rita's portraits, and her paintings of still lifes and Italian landscapes, can be viewed at her website (link at bottom of page).
