Mona Leaster
Mona Leaster
8.5” x 11”
Acrylic on Cardstock (Gel Plate Transfer)
2025

“Mona Leaster” is a playful yet thought-provoking 8.5" x 11" gel transfer acrylic painting on cardstock that reimagines one of the most iconic portraits in art history. In this clever piece, the timeless image of the Mona Lisa is transformed with the gentle features of a light brown rabbit — complete with expressive ears and a soft, whiskered face. The gel transfer technique adds a textured, almost ghostly layer that blends the human and animal forms, prompting viewers to consider the boundaries between tradition and reinvention.

Created just ahead of this year’s Easter celebrations, “Mona Leaster” invites audiences to engage with classic art through a lens of lighthearted whimsy. By merging da Vinci’s masterpiece with a symbol commonly associated with spring, rebirth, and festivity, the painting draws attention to the enduring nature of art while giving it a cheerful, contemporary twist. It’s a reminder that reverence and humor can coexist — and that even the most iconic works of art can be reinterpreted in ways that bring joy, curiosity, and seasonal charm.
