Monika Loevenmark
Monika Loevenmark is a professional artist and watercolour instructor based in North Vancouver with a passion for teaching painting, and inspiring stewardship for the environment through her artwork.
Growing up on a boat on Vancouver Island, and later calling the Coastal mountains home, her work makes evident her wide variety of environmental interests from the health of juvenile salmon, the systems of watersheds, to the significance of melting glaciers and her backyard songbird species.
Monika is a member of Artists for Conservation, the Federation of Canadian Artists, a creative ambassador with Protect Our Winters, and has shown her work in solo and group shows in Canada, the US, Sweden, Japan and England. She has taught art classes with the Squamish Arts Council, local high schools, government groups and for private companies.
She has volunteered with Squamish Search and Rescue, Mountain Mentors, Climb & Conquer, Seymour Salmonid Society, North Shore Black Bear Society and more, as she believes that art and the environment are inextricably linked.
