The Coral Springs Museum of Art presents, FSU alum, abstract contemporary artist Melissa Herrington

The Coral Springs Museum of Art presents abstract contemporary artist Melissa Herrington.
“Drawing HER In”

Exhibition Overview

 

FSU BFA ’97 Melissa Herrington is an abstract contemporary artist, born in Florida and currently based in Los Angeles, whose work is evidence of her love of color, shape, and texture. Her large-scale, gestural paintings are built up through layers of paint on canvas and overlaid with graphite, charcoal and pigment. Herrington’s spontaneous, gestural marks dance on the canvas, while her subtle female forms ground her compositions. In conjunction with the exhibition, she will be hosting an educational series on her inspiration and creative process.
