Monique Rollins
Born in 1980, in Wilmington Delaware, Monique Rollins received a Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree from Syracuse University in New York in 2002. Rollins earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting, a Master of Science in Theory, Criticism and History of Art degree, specializing in Venetian Renaissance, and a Museum Studies Certification from Pratt Institute. During her painting and historical research in Italy, she taught painting and drawing skills to Italian high school students in Lucca, Italy and assistant taught undergraduate and graduate painting in the Pratt in Venice program, as well as on the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn campus. Monique studied language in Florence, and restoration & art history in Venice, where she lectured on Jacopo Tintoretto and his series of philosopher paintings in the Marciana Library. Rollins was granted internships at both the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Farnsworth Museum in Camden, Maine.
Upon completion of her dual Master degrees, Rollins accepted a position as Assistant to the Director of Pratt Institute’s Pratt in Venice program, and later became the Assistant to the Director of the Pratt in Tuscany program in Lucca, Italy. Rollins has exhibited in Wilmington, DE, New York City, Washington, D.C., Florence, Rivoli, Torino, and Venice, Italy and Montego Bay, Jamaica.
In 2010, Rollins moved to Florence, Italy. This radical geographical and cultural change influenced her artwork dramatically, documenting the chaos and excitement of such a physical and artistic transition. Her portfolio consists of large scale oil paintings and charcoal drawings, and paper mixed media collages. She currently lives and paints in Tuscany.
