Monique
started her career in 1987 with a diploma of graphic design in Sydney
Australia.
She moved to The Gold Coast, Queensland
in 1990 to pursue the beaches and warm weather (and some more interesting
artistic opportunities). She noticed restaurants on the Gold Coast were
displaying their menus on blackboards and she was sure she could do something
much more colourful and artistic. All went well, but people started
rubbing their fingers through her artwork, so, back to the drawing board.
Monique decided to invent “Smudge Resistant” CHALK ART.
After 2 years of research and tests, finally, Monique and her family
discovered the perfect combination of ingredients. Monique’s career
exploded. Her trade secret stayed top secret for the next 10 years. Sign
companies from all over the world contacted Monique wanting to know how
it was done!
In 2000, she was asked to start a
school to teach her chalkart secrets and skills.
At first the answer was a firm ‘NO”. After much persuasion,
she agreed, but with one very definite rule:
Students
must promise never to disclose Monique’s trade secrets
to another person
Monique would not teach unless students agreed to her request.
