Commission based artist from San Diego
Apprenticed under sculptor Lynn Forbes, Carlsbad, California
Trained at Charles H. Cecil Studios, Firenze, Italia
Resident in San Diego, CA — Firenze, Italia
In her collaborations with clients, Melanie plays with the rawness of life, with soil, and through her fingertips she brings to life physical shapes that communicate, without words, a feeling. She was eighteen when she stepped into a studio of a sculptor and began learning her way, as a model first, into sculpture. Her sculptures remind us that there is beauty even in the mundane and simple things.
