Note from Artist:
California is known for its Oak Woodlands, which ring its interior ‘bathtub’ in incredible variety. Closely related to its more famous cousin, the Valley Oak (Quercus lobata), the Garry’s or Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana) is just as magnificent in my opinion. With over 20 native oaks and as many recognized hybrids, these ancient, gnarled giants are a staple of the celebrated California landscape. This particular specimen is a favorite of my afternoon dog walks. And though it is on my neighbor’s land, my Raven family uses it to watch the sunset almost every day - we both feel it’s kind of ours by default.

“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.
