About me
Melisa is a Los Angeles-based artist and production designer. Melisa moves fluidly between artistic mediums in an attempt to better study the juxtaposition of technology and humanity. These explorations manifest primarily through experience-based installation work, projection mapping, sculpture, graphic design, performance art, literary endeavors, and beyond. After receiving a BA in sculpture from the University of Southern California, Melisa has worked as a production designer and vfx artist in film and music videos, Through this work, Melisa has had the opportunity to build sets and alter environments, exploring the human condition through spatial, temporal, and aesthetic means, favoring the more abstract, textural, or period based work (primarily anything which allows the psychological to manifest physically. Her artwork has most recently been featured at the Francois Ghebaly Gallery, at the Bergamot Station, and with Home-LA.Additional information:
