Part of the inspiration for this painting, aside from the dramatic North sea and light-scapes in this part of the world, is the music of jazz musician David Friesen, who is based in Portland, Oregon. The painting is being considered as part of the jacket design for David's new album of hymns, entitled "Vanishing the Darkness," which is to be released end of this month.

Monique Johanna Sliedrecht was born in Toronto, Ontario to Dutch parents who emmigrated in the mid-70s, eventually settling in St.Catharines where she grew up. She is currently living in Scotland, which has been her 'base' for 8 years now, having spent 2 years in Edinburgh at Leith School of Art to study painting, and a significant part of her time in the far north of the Scottish highlands at a place called Freswick—an inspiration for much of her work. Alongside painting and some installation and glass work, Monique is Director of Arts and Hospitality at Freswick Castle, which is connected to The Wayfarer Trust, founded by the writer, Murray Watts.
