Hey, it's Melissa. I was raised in a family setting of Pennsylvania folk artists. Of 4th generation, it was my women in folk art who embraced me for training with experimental printmakers in London. I have a studio art practice in fine~folk art since the age of 19. I love working with Intaglio Printmaking and Sculpture. Thank you, Enjoy!

Studio Strawser
I trained in folk and fine art with a BFA, MA in Printmaking from Slade School of Art, UCL. This is where art met paper and shape met metals. My print studio has a Rembrandt Pelican Press and a Legacy Mini Halfwood Press. I have worked alongside some great printmaking maestros who helped me hown my craft. I'm a creator of monoprints and sculpture art by way of Intaglio using aquatint, chine colle' and metal working. I'm glad you're here.
