Biography:

As a child, Monica enjoyed being outdoors and drawing nature.  These passions stayed with her through high school and college, where she earned a B.A. in Art Studio.  Wanting to continue her study of the natural world, she came to the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, where she discovered that the Botanical Art Certificate Program was the perfect way to meld her enjoyment of art with her love for nature.  Monica graduated from the program as a Certified Botanical Illustrator in September 2000.  She currently teaches "Begin to Draw", "Colored Pencil" and several "Mixed Media" courses for the Arboretum. 

When not in class, Monica works at home as a freelance artist.  She has shown her work nationally and has earned several awards.  She is an active member of several art organizations including: the Nature Artists Guild of the Morton Arboretum, the Colored Pencil Society of America and the Sauk County Art Association.  She and her husband are rehabbing a Centennial farm located in Vernon County.  In November 2007 Monica and her husband began living at their farm full time and it is now their permanent home.

In the near future, Monica will be offering the following adult art classes in her farm art studio:  Pencil Drawing, Colored Pencil, Garden Journaling, Botanical Illustration and Mixed Media.  She creates a welcoming atmosphere in her classes, where students feel safe to explore and develop a personal style of drawing, identifying their unique artistic strengths and building on them.  Although many students come to the first class feeling apprehensive about their skills, after five weeks they feel confident and are asking for "more."  Monica happily encourages her students to express themselves in their own unique way.

Monica sells her originals, Giclee prints and note cards at the Cornerstone Gallery in downtown Baraboo, The Bindley Collection at Hilldale Mall or by e-mail inquiry.
