Monica Fraske Bornyk has been drawing ever since she can remember. Her drawings are done mostly in India ink, which she has found to be a challenging and rewarding medium.

In 2002, Monica had the honour of being one of only 30 artists selected from across Canada to be part of “A New Heaven and a New Earth”, an exhibit held in Toronto and Vancouver.
