My name is Robin Locke Monda. I use this blog to express my views on art and art making. The borders between popular culture and “fine art” have blurred to the point of invisibility. The line between the academic and the entrepreneurial, the commercial and the creative, the artist and the audience is in question at every moment. I love that!

My Background
I’m a graphic designer, visual artist, writer, photographer and sound artist. My paintings, digital prints and sound installations have been shown in a variety of venues, including the New York State Museum (Albany), Katonah Museum of Art, New York Hall of Science (Queens), 55 Mercer Street (Manhattan), Thread Waxing Space (Manhattan), Pratt Manhattan Gallery, Silicon Gallery (Philadelphia), Snug Harbor Cultural Center (Staten Island) and the New York Container Terminal.

I love teaching graphic design, typography, graphic production and graphics software in college and workshop settings. Over the years I’ve taught at Pratt Manhattan, Parsons School of Design, School of Visual Arts and College of Staten Island (CUNY). This year I will be teaching a new series of workshops in Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Social Media at BWAC (Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition) in Red Hook.
