Artist. Designer. Fabricator. Teacher.

From Monica
​

​“What I do today informs what I do tomorrow."
This 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 where I started,  to my personal studio work, as well as the development of unique destination learning opportunities.

"A work of art is not an end point in itself.
It's a station on a journey.
A chapter in our lives.
We acknowledge these transitions by documenting each of them."

What's keeping me busy and growing
​ 

Lightness of spirit has been on my mind. Seeing light, feeling light, catching light - all relative to inspiration.  I like to see this woven into my life. Personally, I have a lighter spirit with more room for play and friendships.

Studio: I’m exploring more with less judgement and even jumped into participating in a Plein Air Festival. My early adult years were all about working en plein air (outdoors, on site). But, I hadn't yet participated in an organized event. I'm looking forward to the same event next year! (in Southport, NC).
Teaching: In 2023 I conducted and taught several short zoom classes and workshops as well as two Destination Learning Opportunities for adults. A Creative Immersion Retreat in Mexico and Color, and Light and Form in Greece. I am firmly devoted to the transformative aspect of combining cultural learning with aesthetic learning.
In 2024, I took a break from teaching in order to focus on my own work for a while. However, I am looking forward to weaving in some teaching opportunities in the 2025-26.

Destination Learning Experiences

Destination Learning Experiences enable exploration in inspiring settings. 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 is a chance to waken dormant skills. I hope they will be the impetus for ideas that spring forth long after the adventure ends.
Start planning for Creative Immersion Retreat, January 2025.  On Isla Mujeres, Yucatan Peninsula, this one week immersive program offers demonstrations and lessons, plus several evening salon discussions.

This experience of demos and exercises is geared for creatives of all skill levels and all two-dimensional media.
