Melissa Dunn Part 1

Melissa Dunn’s studio is in her house in Memphis, Tennessee, where she was born and has lived most of her life.  She spent her early years immersed in the city’s music scene, splitting her time between playing with bands and making visual art.  Her abstract-based work is the landing pad where stream of consciousness and the world meet, telling stories that shapes and color carry, either over a lifetime or through a passing thought.  She has exhibited her work extensively over the last twenty-five years and is a teaching artist with a focus on continuing art education for adults.  She shows her work at Sheetcake Gallery and is a cofounder of Shapeshifter Art School and Gallery
