Melissa Strawser
Hey there. I'm Melissa. I was raised in a family setting of Pennsylvania folk artists. Their overlooked role as 'women in folk art' with tradition and biochemistry blessed me as 4th generation artist. My Mom's devotion and dedication to her Pennsylvania Dutch German heritage guided me to MA Printmaking at Slade School of Art, UCL. I hold a creative space and studio art practice since 1998. My story unfolds with the art of Intaglio Printmaking and Metalworks in Garden Sculpture. I'm a first time author to the book, Everyday Art, Folk Art, coming soon! Stay in touch by Signing Up for my special Evites to Pop Up events and more. Thanks for choosing 'Joy' by appreciating art in a family. I look forward to serving you soon.
