Artist: Melissa Stutts | Location: Charlotte, NC
Charlotte, NC
An artist since childhood, Stutts studied Art and Design at Appalachian State University before working professionally as a graphic designer and art director. She has explored multiple mediums, 2-d and 3-d, throughout her career but was immediately hooked when introduced to encaustic. Melissa fell in love with the unique sculptural quality of beeswax and the endless ways of creating depth in her work with this medium.
She uses encaustics to create abstract graphic ecosystems that explore the connection of color, repetition, and space. Her pieces transport the viewer to dream-like environments that hold space for calmness and reflection. These reflections explore the composition and juxtaposition of our personal relationships, the human condition, and being mindful in the ever-evolving world in which we exist.
