Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with Miami-based artist Cici McMonigle, whose vibrant paintings bring to life fantastical creatures inspired by Chinese and American storytelling.

Born in Tianjin, China, McMonigle explores her multicultural identity through exuberant works that blend mythical beasts, surreal symbolism, and traditional Chinese folk toys—symbols of peace and prosperity—reimagined with a playful twist. She calls her style “a distinctive and exaggerated blend of cultural spiritualism.” Families can meet the artist, view a special pop-up display of her work, and join an interactive creature-making activity!
