artist Charles La Monk.
Discover Prehistoric Art
La Monk explored out-of-the-way and obscure locations to discover prehistoric rock art. He shared his discoveries through his own art. He used eroded sand and rock and applied it over a white lead base to simulate rock. He then used a frayed deer-hide brush to reproduce the strokes and dots of ancient rock artists in his renderings of the prehistoric rock art. The nonprofit Center and California State University, San Bernardino, are selling La Monk’s works to benefit our Center’s work to save and share Southern California Native American cultures and to support the university’s internship programs, which also serve the Learning Center.
