Bio

​Monica Glitz grew up on a farm in Ontario, Canada. Artistic from an early age, she went on to seriously study art through high school and in university. Monica holds a degree in Fine Art / Art History from York University, graduating on the Dean’s list as well as receiving the Atkinson College Students’ Association Award for academic excellence.

Her venture into fine art photography started while travelling for pleasure. Her travels over the past 20 years have inspired Monica to photograph more than 100 UNESCO World Heritage sites – some of the most photogenic places that one could ever wish to visit.

Statement - Ancient Splendor

​Monica Glitz has always taken the road less travelled to experience the wonders that the world has to offer. Her travels over the past 20 years have inspired Monica to photograph locations with natural beauty and historical significance throughout Europe, North & South America, Australia, Asia, and Africa. Her images capture the essence of standing in awe of the view, whether of ruins from ancient times or a mist shrouded path in the mountains.
In this series of photographs, Monica has captured stunning images of distinct historically important and environmentally sensitive UNESCO World Heritage sites. Her images capture the feeling of looking back in time, and often the smallest details tell the best stories.

These images are presented in two alternative printing formats with historical roots in the 1800’s: platinum palladium and tri-color pigment gum over palladium. These special printing techniques produce distinct works of art that possess a beauty, depth, and permanence that will endure generations and give justice to the enduring qualities of the subjects captured in the images.
