As a printmaker and painter, the idea of creating monograms was very intriguing. My first idea came from my interest in illustrating water. I have always been inspired by the energy water can demonstrate in artwork. This was an abstract I had made in the past year. It's part of a set of abstracts, and this one focuses more on water:

From this piece, I thought about ways to take my interest in water and put that into a monogram design. This is what evolved:

Although one is a mixed media painting and the other is a drawing, it's still taking the same theme and interpreting it in a new way.
I became inspired again to create another monogram. I have always loved old-fashioned book illustrations where the words are engraved with little vines and flowers, so this is what came to mind:
