Monica Mendes was born and raised in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations. Monica endeavored to immerse herself in art, enrolling in an art history program for docent guides at the Lowe Museum at the University of Miami. In 2009, she followed this long-time passion by opening her own art studio.
