Was born in 1971 in Marlton, New Jersey, USA. Lives and works in Oviedo, Spain.
The works of Monica Dixon Gutiérrez de Terán, American by birth and education through her father and Asturian through her mother, oscillate between fleeting skies, destabilizing shadows and great luminosity. She paints with acrylics lonely houses, in the middle of landscapes of deep America and highlights what is precarious in human constructions under the lasting majesty of space and sky. Her experience is that of the infinite.
Monica Dixon has received numerous awards and honors in Spain. She has exhibited in Spain, the United States, France, Sweden and Singapore.
