Her jewellery making career started in 2003, when she became fascinated by Precious Metal Clay. Monica immersed herself in the exploration of this new material and its compatibility with traditional beading and silversmithing techniques. Each of her pieces represents a journey of discovery, and her designs are influenced by symbolic ethnic art. In order to share her passion for jewellery making with the wider community, Monica established the Eclectic School of Jewellery and Design in December 2003.
