Sobre la Instructora / About the Instructor

Monica Ramirez

Instructor / Artist

El arte siempre ha sido mi mayor pasión; ¡he estado dibujando y pintando desde que era niño! Ahora, soy escritora e ilustradora de libros infantiles. Mi libro, Las aventuras de Democracy Land, es uno de mis proyectos favoritos, combinando divertidas aventuras con importantes lecciones de vida para los niños. Cuando no estoy trabajando en una nueva historia, puedes encontrarme viajando por el mundo como nómada digital, sumergiéndome en nuevas culturas y ambientes. Hago mucha pintura al aire libre en mis viajes, encontrando inspiración en los colores y texturas de la naturaleza. Ya sea un paisaje brillante y soleado o los suaves tonos de un cielo vespertino, me encanta capturar la belleza del mundo que me rodea a través de mi arte. Para mí, tanto la pintura como la narración de historias se tratan de conexión: ya sea con un lugar, un sentimiento o una idea, mi objetivo es darle vida a eso en todo lo que creo.

What is the process for cancelling my registration?

We ask that you notify us at least 10 business days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 business days notice, we will not be able to provide a full refund. A flat cancellation fee of $15 will be charged to cover the transaction fee.

Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee, or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.

Do you pro-rate late additions to classes?

Late additions to any program, class, or workshop that has already begun will be allowed on a per-case basis depending upon the Program Director & instructors approval. Late additions will have to pay the full registration cost of the class, along with any materials fees, and will not be prorated for the time missed. You may reach out to the program directors directly, or the Program Associate Sean Baskin at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org to request a late addition.
