Birmingham, AL
Melanie Townsend Colvin's work draws inspiration from nature and the juxtaposition of man-made objects against natural materials. Her creations tell stories that are anchored in a foundation of encaustic wax, oil pigment and paper. She adds a mixture of found objects, natural wood, tin, maps and aged photos to create work that blends natural, ancient mediums with industrial and contemporary materials — creating artwork that expresses a strong sense of self and connection to the past.
Growing up in Arkansas, Alabama and Louisiana, Colvin, was surrounded by creative influences that fueled her imagination and helped shape her early work. Travel, formal graphic design education and professional workshops helped her develop her unique visual language that define her art today. Colvin has participated in many regional juried exhibits. Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections.
