Monica Schmid

Talking about her pieces, the artist reflects: “The most difficult part in creating a new piece is to know when to stop designing when to leave it alone. I call my design process Organic Minimalism as a reminder to focus equally on the empty spaces, the voids as on the material and color– much like a painter's canvas."

Monica Schmid was born in Switzerland. She studied fashion design and garment engineering and graduated from Zürich’s Textile College. After studying Spanish language and culture at the University of Madrid, Spain she settled in the Bay Area. For many years, Monica designed and engineered patterns for the garment industry, including 9 years at Levi Strauss.
