Full of optimism when we need it most. This piece brings together warm and inviting colors and hints at the possibility and opportunities ahead despite our current challenges. Melissa's process involves whipping up and throwing down layer after layer of paint while pulling and pushing shapes in and out of the canvas. In between, she scatters gestural and spontaneous marks using oil pastels and archival markers. Over and over again she steps back, looks, and come back to deepen or lighten, massage or even wrestle with the image to get to a place of balance.
Liven up your space with this magical piece!
