Mona Xuna's Art Gallery gets Web exposure

Efforts of a Brazilian Artist, who established residence in South Dakota, to reach her clientele

April 29, 2000 -- Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  Artist Morgana ("Mona") Xuna has just established a presence on the Internet.  Mona moved to Sioux Falls from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1996.  On that year she exhibited her canvasses at the Sioux Falls Civic Fine Arts Center (as Morgana Aguiar - her maiden name).  That year, she married Juan Xuna, a Telecommunications Engineer.  In an effort to reach larger audiences they moved to the greater-Miami metropolitan area in 1997, and to a suburb of Kansas City in 1999.  Mona confides us ..."We decided to return to South Dakota.  We missed a lot of things.  Especially, we missed our country-dancing friends, and the tranquility of our home at the shores of Wall lake.   Furthermore, our house (8 miles West of Sioux Falls) has been built as a Gallery, with picture lights built-in on walls, and wall space for more than 60 canvasses.  No apartment that we lived was even close to match these features".  Her husband Juan adds .."Exposure on the Web will compensate for the implicit market limitations that artists have to endure when settling in sparsely populated areas.  As a nice surprise I bought for her two huge 18-foot palm trees, which now adorn our great-room.  These trees together with the colorful jungle-scenery of her paintings makes our South Dakota home feel as a small Brazilian paradise" .
