Nordia House Doors with Monica Setziol-Phillips (Livestream)

A link to the livestream will be sent to those who have registered!

Join us for an evening with Monica Setziol-Phillps, the artist who, with some input from her father, designed and carved Nordia House’s front doors. Her talk will go over the process of creating the doors, her own practice, and touch on the works of her father, Leroy Setziol, sometimes referred to as “the father of Northwest woodcarving.”

About the Speaker

Monica Setziol-Phillips is a weaver, carver, and cut paper artist. She is also the daughter of well-known Northwest sculptor Leroy Setziol.

Monica has been weaving, carving, and cutting paper for a very long time. She is married to retired Oregon Shakespeare Festival actor JP Phillips, they live in Sheridan Oregon. Monica’s work resides in many private collections, and she has been privileged to teach at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology for the last 15 years. She believes that everyone has a creative spirit that deserves to be nourished.

In 2005, Leroy Setziol was commissioned to carve two doors for Nordia House. Due to health issues, he was not able to do the commission, and it was passed on to Monica with Roy providing input with design. In 2018, Monica and her father had a retrospective exhibit of their work at Nordia House.
