Artist, architect and yogi Mimi Moncier focuses on producing project-based multidisciplinary work that spans the visual arts of painting, sculpture, architecture, installation, and performance. Her interest in merging and moving between mediums is based on the idea of breaking down and reconsidering formal systems, including the self. Subverting formal ideas about space and identity are imperative to her practice. Within the space of Giggling Lotus Yoga/Scrawl Center for Drawing (2012-2018), a hybrid space housing yoga, traditional visual arts and performance, she pushed the limits as to what defines the purpose of space beyond its original charge conceiving it more as a three-dimensional tabula rasa within which to create multiple outcomes and experiences. Moncier has exhibited in Boston, New York, New Orleans, Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham and San Francisco. As an architect she worked on several award-winning projects such as the Getty Antiquities Museum, the Getty Research Center and the Carl J Shapiro Clinical Center at Beth Israel Hospital. She has an MFA (2010) from the San Francisco Art Institute, a Diploma in Studio Art (2000) from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts where she was a recipient of the Fifth Year Traveling Scholarship in 2001, and a BArch from the University of Tennessee (1988). Mimi is also an ERYT500 yoga and meditation teacher with over 5000 hours of teaching experience.
