Biography

The Art Of Monica J. Reekie

Capturing moments in time and the beauty around us with Fine Art Photography and on Canvas.

Monica has had a love of animals, nature and art since childhood and loved to read about far-away lands.

During many years in the nursing profession, and owning a successful award-winning B&B, she met a multitude of fascinating people from all over the world and from different walks of life. Some were famous, some wise, some funny, others had endured unspeakable horrors, but most were ordinary. All of them have inspired Monica to reawaken her long held dreams and aspirations for travel, art and photography. Although she describes herself as a realistic artist, many of her pictures have an almost mystical quality bordering on the abstract, capturing a flash of beauty, a deep emotion or a transcendent pattern of colours. Even her photographs of cars draw the viewer to see light reflections, contrasts, colour and form, not necessarily a car, per se, nor does she use digital manipulation in the creation of her images. “The natural world needs no enhancement.”

Monica’s photographic subjects vary widely from animals to architecture, floral details to expansive vistas, chandeliers to cars; the beauty of the world around her provides her constant inspiration. Her work depicts the world and its wonders as she sees them through the lens of her camera, often focusing on the details. She uses photography to infuse wonder and joy into life, finding something beautiful, something to be grateful for, give pleasure to the senses and exalt the mind simply by taking a closer look at the world. She considers herself fortunate to be able to pursue her passions, “for all things achieved or attempted were done simply for the joy of doing them, and the joy is enough”.Paintings are all originals and Photographic Images are limited to editions of 3, 8 or 10 depending on the subject and size.

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but seeing with new eyes.” Marcel Proust

Biography

Since I was a young person (yes, it’s been awhile), I have been curvy AND I have enjoyed shopping – especially the thrill of the hunt for a great bargain!

I discovered that putting outfits together could be viewed as ‘costuming’. I don’t mean in the sense of dressing as a super hero or a clown. I am referring to the fact that I can present so many facets of my personality simply by my choice of clothing and accessories.

The other revelation was to embrace the shape I have at the time I have it. Have I gained and lost a few pounds over the years? Probably a thousand. The weight goes up or down depending on emotional health, family situations, career moves, financial status, physical well-being, and more. My weight journey is shared by many curvy women. At this stage of life, I pray I accept and love the body I have right now.

Which brings me back to the shopping and costuming concept. Regardless of size and body shape, how can I present the best me I can be every day?

At Curvalicious Boutique (CB for short), our team’s desire is to provide a safe, pleasant environment where you can try on consigned items as well as beautiful, new, Canadian-designed and Canadian-made pieces that will look and feel wonderful on YOU. I’ve been noticing that many curvy women believe they are larger than their true size. And that we can get stuck in our ‘fashion ruts’ — always reaching for the same type of outfit.

What sides of you have you yet to explore? Sporty? Trendy? Romantic? Boho? Career chic? Hot mama? Casual & cute? Pretty prom princess? Elegant mother-of-the-bride or groom? It is truly our pleasure to spend time with you, encouraging you to try on things that may not be what you are drawn to on a hanger giving you the chance to see yourself with fresh eyes! It is our goal to support you to find your best look — without putting on pressure to try or buy.

The Boutique has a new brand: we are carefully curating for curvaceous women — both new and consigned — clothing, jewelry, hats, purses, boots, and gorgeous scarves. We receive new stock almost every day, so it is worth coming in often.

Biography

My passion for health, fitness and nutrition shows in my positive attitude and my no nonsense, yet encouraging approach when working with clients. I have the innate ability to sense my clients needs to bring out their best and help them to find their ‘alter ego’.

I understand that a commitment to wellness is not just about exercise, Navigating nutritional information, and misinformation, can be challenging – consider me your road map to making sound choices around clean eating and your goals.

My love and enjoyment of exercise and a healthy lifestyle is evident in my long list of accomplishments. Some of my achievements include:

doing the Kusam Klimb in a time of 5 1/2 hours in 2013;
completing a Mud, Sweat and Tears Obstacle Course Race in November 2013;
running Canada’s toughest 10km at Bear Mountain Resort in Langford 4x, (even posting a top 10 in my age category);
a training partner for the Victoria Goddess Run for the past 3 years.
My most recent accomplishment is coaching the women’s team at the World Crew Club Dragonboat Championships in Italy, September 2014 and bringing home a bronze and a silver medal!

I am a BCRPA Certified Personal and Strength Trainer and am fully trained and certified with Can Fit Pro as a Personal Training Specialist. I am also trained in Agatsu Pro Grade Kettlebell Training; Mat 1 Pilates and just recently acquired my certification in Kruger Omni Healing (another modality in overall health and fitness which helps align and balance the body so healing can occur within the body).

I don’t just talk the talk, I walk, run, hike, paddle, eat, breathe and live a commitment to a holistic approach to health and fitness. Providing quality education in health, fitness and nutrition is paramount in my approach. I share my passion for a healthier lifestyle in speaking engagements throughout the region at offices, community forums and health expos.

How serious are you about finding your Alter Ego? Let me help you and discover whats already inside!
