"I Wore Flowers" is a mixed media, bright abstract portrait painting by Hudson Valley artist Monica Shulman. For this painting Monica marries her abstract expressionist style with her love of portraits and drawing. She made this vivid, electrifying abstract using oil paint and oil pastel. Monica used varying shades of blue, red, green, and pink over a black background to create a rhythmic, penetrating portrait that will add dimension and a pop of color to any space. Monica has been featured in various publications including Popular Photography, the Washington Post, Create magazine, and the Huffington Post. In 2019 she was named "Best Artist" in Westchester by Westchester magazine. She is a member of the National Association of Women Artists.
