About Monica
Monica Popham is an artist from Gibraltar. She studied Fine Art at Loughborough University and graduated in 2021. Monica’s main body of work focuses on the tangible quality of sunlight, and how it interacts with the architecture. She captures the synergy between sunlight and buildings and plays with scale as seen in her tile collections.
Monica recently won Landscape Artist of the Year 2024 and completed a commission for the Science Museum on the renewable energy and innovation happening in Orkney. Her painting is now part of their permanent collection.
