Monica Kim Garza focuses on her art after traveling on and off consistently. Her artwork depicts women of different shades of brown, displaying the nude body while playing sports, texting, working out, and the average modern-day leisure activities. Garza focuses on themes of sex positivity, self-portraits, and modern-day technology in her artwork. She emphasizes being
unapologetically herself when creating nude portraits of women doing normal day-to-day functions. She creates her paintings based on her own cultural background and memories, which mainly exhibit women of color.
