About

I’m Monica Leal Cueva, artist and creative project manager with over
12 years of experience helping artists

I found my way into the art world by supporting artists behind the scenes: building websites, photographing artwork, and assisting with exhibitions, which taught me how to serve creative people thoughtfully and practically.

A graduate of Communication Sciences and a visual artist, I worked closely with Tom Wudl for over a decade managing his private instruction studio and supporting his painting practice, and now co-own the studio, which serves more than 30 artists in Los Angeles and around the world.

Having worked with artists at every stage of their careers, I understand how overwhelming the demands of the art world can be, which led me to found Creative Ally.

When I’m not working, I’m painting, camping, spending time with my cats, or planning my next adventure, and I live and work in Los Angeles, CA.
