MELISSA BROWN . . in ‘THE PICTIONARY INDIVIDUAL’
A GROUP SHOW – ORGANIZED BY: PETER HARKAWIK
closes today – SAT APRIL 20, 2019
REAL PAIN FINE ARTS, 1819 3rd Ave., L.A. CA 90019

I’ve always found Melissa Brown’s paintings – to be very craftsman-like.
they are built tight – like ships.
they are completely made-well, and functional – as vessels . . of daydream & mystery.

this might be because Melissa’s first focus was – printmaking.
