Artist. Designer. Fabricator. Teacher.


Welcome

Monica Fogg is a lecturer in the College of Design and an artist and designer who has taught courses in watercolor, drawing, painting, color theory, design, visual presentation, and art history.

With over three decades of experience, Monica's teaching strength lies in reaching people who have different styles and levels of experience. She stimulates exploration of formal, technical, and conceptual issues.

“What I do today informs what I do tomorrow” has been my mantra through years of diverse visual problem solving. Those years have included teaching university students as well as more seasoned adults; designing or executing theater and movie sets, murals, museum dioramas and production management. I’m grateful for decades of rich experiences, and for the years leading up to that when my studio artwork sustained me.
As I leave scheduled work days behind, those “todays” lead me back to personal studio work as well as the development of unique destination learning opportunities.

How beautifully planned and executed the retreat was. Your ability to assess the situation from moment to moment was what impressed me . And, your flexibility and wisdom to adjust accordingly was seamless.                                      ~Past attendee

My New North

Water and rocks. Rocks and water. These elements are what feed my spirit.  I spent time in graduate school at Clemson University (SC), hoping to return to the southeast some day. That day happened in June of 2020 when I moved from Minnesota to North Carolina. I love it here. When a bit more settled, I'll explore the mountain areas, as well. For now, I'm gathering energy for more studio time, continuing to teach classes through Wet Paint (St. Paul, MN) and offering Destination Learning Opportunities.

Destination Learning Experiences

I consider myself fortunate to have led eleven student groups abroad for the University of Minnesota. These adventures include three to Japan - observing Japanese Design & Aesthetics:  five to France - researching Impressionism; and two to Greece - experiencing color, light and form.

Firmly devoted to the transformative aspect of combining cultural learning with aesthetic learning, I am further developing Destination Learning Opportunities.

These art travels enable exploration in an inspiring setting. For some, these workshops may simply be an oasis in the middle of a busy life, a chance to unwind and re-direct. For others, it could be a chance to waken dormant skills. I hope that it will be the impetus for ideas that spring forth long after the adventure ends.
