“As an artist who deeply appreciates detail, I always strive for simplicity. I find that I often land somewhere in between, hopefully capturing the essence of the scene, flower, or creature at the heart of the work. I enjoy drilling down into my subjects and learning from each experience, and my goal is to pass on that same sense of discovery and wonder through every piece I create.”

About the Artist
Monique Wales
Inspired by the wild landscapes and wildlife of Yosemite and the American West, Monique Wales creates reductive relief prints that seek to capture the serenity, wonder, and quiet rhythms of the natural world. Through careful observation and a deeply immersive creative process, her work celebrates the beauty of wild places and the increasingly threatened inhabitants that call them home.
