Monica makes a living performing a character of her own invention: "Monski Mouse". Monski started as a nickname in 1991, but the Mouse grew and made her first professional appearance soon after in 1992 at the Adelaide Fringe. This portrait beautifully captures Monica dressed as Monski many years later, looking out of a window in suburban Adelaide. It captures the presence of someone comfortable in their own skin.
