Monika Stattner

Monika's skill represents years of traditional academic training mixed with self-taught talent, inspiration and patience. She earned an AOS degree (with Honor) at Pratt Institute Manhattan. In her presentation drawings she developed a style using the many shades and layers of the silvery graphite grey usually with a single subject - there are few exceptions where high contrast is very evident. The drawings love to show texture, highly detailed and lifelike but not photorealistic. She is a self represent artist known locally for her pet portraits. She also has been an instructor at the Town Hall Arts Galerie Copper art classes in Copperopolis, California.

Artist in the Woods

Artist in the Woods was an annual program sponsored by the Stanislaus National Forest and the 3 Forest Interpretive Association (3FIA). The program has been suspended in recent years, probably due to COVID. Hopefully it will be reinstated soon.

The program provided a wonderful opportunity to connect local artists with the Sonora Pass environment and with visitors. "With the goal of creating a sense of stewardship for the beauty of the natural and cultural resources of the Stanislaus National Forest, the Stanislaus National Forest Artist in the Woods Program provides professional artists of all media an opportunity to receive creative inspiration for the Sierra landscape, while using their artists discipline. The selected artist will stay in a historic cabin on the Summit Ranger District for two weeks. A stipend will be provided to the artists from 3 Forests Interpretive Association for meals, a portion of travel and a small portion of supplies."

" In return the participating artist is asked to donate an original piece of artwork from and representative of their stay on the Stanislaus National Forest and conduct a workshop instructing the public in their discipline."
