Introducing Monark: A Fusion of Art and Elegance

Meet Lauren Foshee and Joanie Conoly, two passionate artists whose creativity has been a lifelong journey. For over a decade, each has successfully built her own art business, gaining a loyal following across the country. With an eye for detail and a commitment to craftsmanship, they have dedicated themselves to creating pieces that inspire and delight.

Beyond their love for painting and artistic expression, Lauren and Joanie share an unbreakable bond—one built on friendship, faith, and a shared passion for beauty in all forms. Through years of creative collaboration, countless shopping adventures, and deep conversations, they discovered a new avenue to merge their artistic talents: jewelry design.

And so, Monark was born—a brand that embodies creativity, elegance, and purpose. Every piece in their collection is carefully curated, hand-selected, and thoughtfully designed with a unique artistic vision.

More than just jewelry, Monark is a reflection of their heart for community and faith. As devout Christians, Lauren and Joanie feel called to use their talents to serve others, bringing joy to special moments and creating meaningful connections through their craft.

Their mission extends beyond beautiful designs—they are committed to giving back, partnering with organizations to support and uplift those in need.

“Jewelry is our way of sharing joy, celebrating life’s special moments, and shining light into the world. We pray that Monark becomes not just a brand, but a vessel for connection, ministry, and creativity in service to Christ.”

Lauren & Joanie can’t wait to share their passion with you. Welcome to Monark—where artistry meets elegance, and every piece tells a story.
