Mona Caron

Mona is a San Francisco-based artist focusing primarily on creating murals in public space. 

Mona's works designed for the street include the WEEDS project, a metaphor about resilience, as well as several ultra-site-specific and community-immersive narrative murals reflecting the past, present, and future imaginaries of their neighborhood. Also appearing in the streets is her art-ivism with social movements; and several works in collaboration with kindred-spirited artists.

Some of Mona’s graphic work, and an archive of past illustration work, can be found in the Studio wing of this website.
