Monika Steiner

[1][2] The December 2006 showing of 11 pieces at the Bank of America Center in San Francisco, CA (since renamed 555 California Street), called Confluence, was influential in launching her art career.

"I am attracted to spheres because they are nature's most perfect shape - requiring the least amount of structure to enclose the greatest possible volume.

"[5] Rather than traditional canvas, Steiner prefers birchwood platforms prepared with rabbit-skin glue for its hard, smooth surface.

In addition to painting, Steiner sculpts in bronze, engaging in the ancient lost-wax casting process integral to working with the medium.

[6] Major collections of Steiner's artwork are held by the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art in San Luis Obispo, California and the Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest, California, as well as by the Ashlyn Dyer Foundation, and the Dorfmusem Bönigen.
