H Lee Messina

H. Lee Messina is a mixed-media collage artist and founder of The Dutch Spork. Drawing on her background in film and production design, Messina's self-taught practice is centered on turning scraps into stories. Her collages are built from overlooked and forgotten fragments—including bread tags, envelopes, and vintage magazine clippings—which are reassembled into surreal, layered works. This process is both meditative and unpredictable, allowing meaning to surface outside of planning.
