About the Artist: Pati D. Monge
Pati D. Monge is a native of California. As a kid growing up in Los Angeles, she loved to explore and create adventures with her brothers, including venturing into abandoned Victorian homes and theaters, playing in open fields and on beaches, and hiking canyons. Returning home, Pati would then draw her explorations and imaginations onto paper. While attending middle school, she discovered a natural talent for drawing and won an award for an artistic point perspective piece. She attended college at L.A.C.C., where she wanted to explore every art medium. She chose to major in illustration.
Pati studies folklore of different cultures and ethnicities, and illustrates what she learns. For scenic inspiration, Pati enjoys venturing out on nature hikes and road trips with her children. Her current passion is writing and illustrating her own fable storybooks.
