Mona Marshall is a visual artist currently living in Austin, Texas and Saturna, B.C., who has always had an interest in the relationship of the natural world with human enterprise. “Heaven,” “Dry Earth,” and the “Weather” drawings were each explorations of our place in the natural world, and our impact on it. An earlier series, “Skin Deep,” has to do with the man-made environment. The most recent work for her solo show at Southwest School of Art, called Three “Stories About Water” tells the stories of the absence of water, the beneficence of ancient sources of water deep underground, and the paths by which water travels. Marshall has an M.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute. She also studied at Tyler School of Art in Rome and has exhibited work in San Francisco, Santa Monica, and New York.
