Monte lives and works in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and son.
"At the dawn of the information age we are experiencing an immeasurable mashup of cultural ideologies and our ideas about the world around us are being profoundly challenged. America is front and center in this war of worldviews and I'm interested in documenting it with fireworks of the imagination - creating environments which allow for contemplations of a new American mythology."

Monte has worked in the production and design industries for the last decade enjoying great relationships with clients such as CNN, New York City Opera at Lincoln Center, More Magazine, Child Magazine, Cartoon Network, Family Circle, Better Homes and Gardens and others before dedicating the majority of his time to painting and fine art commissions.
