Hi, I’m Sheena Monique
Artist, Creator, and Owner of Coco Pixies
Based in Southern California, my creative journey began long before paint touched canvas. I studied Interior Design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, where I developed a deep appreciation for detail, balance, and beauty. But it was in 2020, during a moment of stillness, that I rediscovered the healing power of art and began painting large-scale florals that helped me reconnect with joy.
Then in 2024, a simple conversation changed everything. My cousin, new to fatherhood and glowing with pride for his baby girl, suggested I create something special for little girls. I carried that idea quietly until it blossomed into Coco Pixies, a collection of magical Black girl pixies with curly hair and afro puffs, created to celebrate identity, imagination, and the wonder of seeing yourself represented.
This work is deeply personal, rooted in love for my daughter, Jordan; my goddaughter, Teonna; and my cousin Gracelynn. It is guided by the belief that every child deserves to see themselves in magic. Thank you for being here. I hope you find inspiration, delight, and a little sparkle in every piece.
With love,
Sheena Monique
