I had the good fortune of doing a studio visit to RED DOT Project artist member, Mona Kolesar.  Mona works in the back of a garage on her abstract wall pieces.  There are skylights that flood the space and a great view of her backyard.  She works with natural materials, such as granite, slate, marble, and stone to create her artwork.   Her work is inspired by natural themes and gives a sense of permanence to our fast changing world.

Mona works largely on commission, working hand in hand with the contractor, architect, and owners to create a piece best suited for the environment.  Just as importantly is the planning the proper supports for these pieces that are heavy due to their materials and lighting to properly illuminate the work.

Some additional images of Mona’s work.
