Monica Moran is a mixed-media book artist on a mission to help adults reconnect to their Creative Instincts with workshops in bookmaking and paper projects. She makes hand-crafted books and journals, often using vintage or recycled materials, to inspire creative storytelling or art journaling. Monica creates artist books for the online challenge, Are You Book Enough.
Her artist books have been exhibited in Camarillo and North Hollywood, CA. As a book artist, Monica’s creations are often humorous and whimsical even as they speak to social inequities in the world. As an active participant in the online Instagram challenge, “Are You Book Enough”, she has created over 60 artist books to date.
Since the pandemic, Monica has added blackout art to her repertoire of book art skills, using old book pages to generate found poetry or fast fiction. Her blackout art often includes imagery that connects to the new narratives she creates on the book page.
