Dutch Folk Painting
Kenosha, WI
 Mona
has gained international recognition as a master of the Dutch Hindeloopen
style of folk painting.
Her “canvases” are typically accessories, furniture, and walls. In addition to
Dutch Hindeloopen and Dutch Assendelfter, Mona teaches German, Russian, Swiss,
Swedish, and Early American folk painting.
Mona's classes and demonstrations include an
exhibit of pieces, the history and background of the painting style being
presented, explanations of the elements of design and color, and basic
techniques which are part of all folk painting. Her students range in age from preschool children to senior citizens in
assisted living facilities
