My vision is for a better world, where there is greater understanding between all people, and a world where our children/grandchildren will have a bright future. Look to the indigenous peoples of the world, and learn how you can protect the planet and it's population for generations to come. For me, documenting these traditions and wisdom through my art, is a way to inform and educate, while doing what I love.

Winter 2016 - Beautiful In-Difference Coloring books by Monique de La Tour/ Postcards - Series #1 - Africa - The Women
The coloring books/postcards I am designing and illustrating are intended to raise awareness about the amazing cultures in our world. I want people to 'interact with the art, learn as they draw, and make it their own through the use of color. The books and postcards will be handmade and sold through the online store. Each season a new collection of illustrations will be released. These are the first of my illustrations to be featured in the African Women series. Below, from left to right, are the Daasanach whose home is the Omo Valley, Ethiopia. The Tuareg from the Sahara, the Himba people of Namibia, and the Afar people from Ethiopia. Each book will feature 10 unique and very special cultures. With your support, you allow the continuation of the crucial work we do in under-served communities. Your purchase also contributes to cultural diversity in schools worldwide. For each purchase, a school of your choice will receive free downloadable lesson plans,
