Meet the Artist - CE Monette

I’m fulfilling a lifelong dream of being a working artist. I was lucky to have several very creative careers: working in visual merchandising and owning my own floral studio and antique shop. Those detours were essential to me being who I am today.

I am a salvage artist. My style, my aesthetic, is much like a historian or archaeologist, to preserve what I unearth. I love the ancient, I swoon over beautiful penmanship. My work explores my love for this antique ephemera, the beauty and the decay, working to merge together elements that are centuries apart to create a new history.
