About the Artist behind Blackbird

 

Blackbird Art and Farm is a lifelong dream of owner Melissa Frank-Williams, where she lives with her partner, teenage son, and a whole bunch of chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats. It is a magical two-acre homestead in Boulder County, Colorado with amazing mountain views, gardens, a greenhouse, and studio spaces to create. 

Melissa makes all of the artwork and upcycled wearables featured at Blackbird Art and Farm and largely uses repurposed and recycled materials. She enjoys regularly "making the rounds", as she calls it, in Boulder County where she sources quality vintage garments, antique findings and fabrics, and objects layered in story to be the foundation of her next pieces. Everything she makes is composed with intention.
