About The Artist
Melissa Woodburn, raised in Iowa, always knew she wanted to be an artist. Growing up in the woods started her lifelong love affair observing cycles and rhythms of nature.
Graduating from Wittenberg University with a BFA, cum laude, she worked as a graphic designer for fifteen years in Chicago and San Francisco. In 1996, she returned to her fine art roots, working with fiber and ceramic.
Artist's Statement
I am inspired by this life on earth: the rhythms and cycles of living. A BFA in printmaking and fifteen years working as a graphic designer helped attune my eye to pattern and repetition.
“What Has Happened to Us?” is part of a series using recycled shipping cardboard, ceramic, patinas and paint. The series speaks to borders, divisions, and deep feelings held close.
