"There Can Only Be One"
Each original painting I create is the essence of exclusivity—there is only one, signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. It’s more than just a piece of art; it is a singular experience, crafted with intention and emotional depth that can never be replicated.

The Spirit of Singularity | Reproductions are available to offer a taste of the original, but they remain echoes of something greater. Think of the Mona Lisa—prints, postcards, and even phone cases may carry her likeness, but only one true Mona Lisa exists in the Louvre. I’m not Leonardo, but every piece I create carries the same spirit of singularity: one work, one connection, forever.

Treasured Transformation | When you own an original, you take possession of more than paint on canvas—you embrace a story that evolves with you. The art becomes a personal treasure, transforming your space and enriching your life in ways only the truly unique can. It’s a relationship between the artwork and your story, creating meaning that deepens over time.

Description

Dragon’s Elixir – Breckenridge Whiskey art

Created in her signature Hybrid Fluid Realism style. This painting is a celebration of fine spirits, legacy, and life’s rich moments. This painting is a visual homage to the art of whiskey-making. It features the iconic Breckenridge Whiskey bottle, a distillation of both raw nature and refined craftsmanship. See one of Colorado’s premier whisky houses here Breckenridge Distillery. Similarly, Monica’s mastery is evident in the bottle’s traditional oil-rendered detail, from the precise lettering that spells out “Breckenridge” to the fierce dragon emblem, which seems to guard the spirit within with its mythical presence.

The Power Behind the Paint

At the center of the canvas stands the iconic Breckenridge Whiskey bottle. Rendered in meticulous oil detail, it features precise lettering and a fierce dragon emblem—its wings outspread, guarding the liquid treasure within. At the same time, this mythical figure doesn’t just decorate the bottle; it symbolizes transformation, echoing the magic of distillation.

Nature Poured in Paint

The background bursts with movement. Monica’s acrylic pours evoke the raw beauty of the Colorado Rockies—snowmelt-fed rivers, evergreen forests, and mineral-rich soil. These natural elements are key to the whiskey’s unique profile. Further, the mountain terrain, captured in color and motion, doesn’t just frame the bottle. It tells a story of origin: the altitude, the climate, and the purity that shape every drop of Breckenridge whiskey.

From Myth to Moment

“Dragon’s Elixir” invites viewers to engage all senses. As such, the dragon represents the fiery transformation of grain and water into golden whiskey. The artwork stirs the imagination—you can almost feel the cool, crisp notes of high-altitude whiskey on your lips, followed by the heat of a dragon’s breath. Lastly, Monica’s brush honors Elevation Breck, the world’s highest distillery, creating a powerful tribute to craftsmanship and nature’s gifts.
