About the event
Melissa A. Day was born in Wixom, Michigan. She moved to Detroit in the late 90s, where she studied literature and fine art at Wayne State University. After attending WSU for one year, Melissa transferred to the College for Creative Studies. Melissa participated in a studio program in Tribeca, New York in 2001 through Parsons School of Design/ The New School for her last semester before ultimately receiving her Bachelor of Fine Art in painting from CCS in May of 2002.
Melissa has exhibited her work in several galleries in Detroit and Metro Detroit respectively. Her work is imbued with the beauty she finds in urban landscapes. She is attracted to the images and textures that have occurred over time on buildings and objects, through the effects of humans and nature.
No certain sense of what will come next, images manifest yet remain undetermined. The meaning in Melissa’s work is irreducible to a single thought or idea. It is as abstract as it is significant.
