This Is Happening! continues our road trip to the Land of Enchantment. This week, again joined by special guest co-host, fab Brit phenom Georgie Leahy, Nathan and Eric get artistic by visiting the home studios of accomplished Santa Fe-based artists Monique de Nys and Kellogg Johnson!
Born in Holland, Monique made her way to Santa Fe where she forges sculptural magic in multiple media. Much of Monique's work makes use of bones and skeletons, mingled with bronze, glass, metal, and leather. Monique conjures haunting, sometimes dark and disturbing imagery, which provocatively contrasts her warm and generous spirit.
Check out Monique's work on her website:

Kellogg Johnson creates large scale sculptures in ceramic and bronze using distinct kilns. We had the privilege of seeing some of his works in progress as Kellogg gave us a tour of his studio. Kellogg's works has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the country. And he is a highly sought after teacher, presently inspiring the next generation of artists at Santa Fe Community College.

Kellogg and Monique are both amazing artists and equally amazing people. Enjoy!
