Monte Dolack; Art and Environmental Awareness

Monte’s talk will be about his artworks which tend to be a bit surreal that relate to our environment and the tension and relationships between our civilization, technology, and nature. A love of art, history and the natural world has shaped the content of his imagery. Blending mythology, nature and elements from our modern civilization, his work is often infused with a sense of humor and irony. Monte’s keen interest in environmental issues has lead to commissions for the Nature Conservancy, Defenders of Wildlife and Trout Unlimited; he has created over 200 posters and prints for various organizations. In 2014 he was chosen to create the official national commemorative poster for the 50th Anniversary of the American Wilderness Act
