Monique J. DuFour ArtistMonique J. DuFour’s Artist’s Statement: “I am an intuitive self-taught painter. I paint with music and music paints through me, orchestrating a symphony of colors, movements, energies, and vibrations. Life and music and colors are my sources of inspiration, and my paintings are a journey for both the artist and the viewer. I identify myself as painting from the inside out. When I paint, I am drawn to select a palette of colours, and spiritual source and energy guide my hands and creates all that is beautiful from and for the soul, which frequently provides a healing energy and vibration, that lingers with the artwork.”

Fascinating Fact about Monique J. Dufour: She also creates crystal healing wands used for Reiki, intuitive, and for personal use. In 2024 she was featured in interviews in Artist Close up and Collect Artwork-Georgia.
