Melissa Mack

Melissa Mack is a contemporary abstract artist who lives and works in Fairfield, CT. Born and raised in NYC, she grew up surrounded by art and culture from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to Studio 54 and The Limelight.

Melissa's mixed media paintings capture the beauty of natural elements and their inherent energy. She studies natural forms, especially crystals, plants, and water, to express the energy, movement, flow of these forms and the life force they exude. She depicts the concrete world in an abstract form and is intrigued by what lies beyond our sight. Melissa lets meditation guide her creative process. She practices daily meditation with a brush in hand and lets images flow from intuition.  While she works across multiple media, she is drawn to ink, because of the freedom it gives her to release control. Ink flows where it wants, so wherever it takes her she embraces the need to go with it and welcomes the mystery of what is to come. In each piece Melissa captures vibrant positive energy and adds crushed crystals into the paint to bring healing energy into each work.  Some pieces are ethereal and some vibrant. But all are based on healing energy because energy is the universal force that connects us all.
