Artist Comments
In the fall and winter, the woods along the river reveal the remnants of summer flowers, tangled stems, and leaves. Starting with oils and cold wax, artist Melissa Gannon unveils orange hues through scratching and layer removal with solvent. She then applies warm, inviting colors with soft and large strokes with contrasting sharp lines, creating an enticing visual spectacle.
About the Artist
Melissa is passionate about color. She finds it to be the most significant form of inspiration to paint. Speaking on influences in her work, Melissa says, “Sometimes it’s an idea that I can’t get out of my head, or a color that I just MUST paint!†She particularly enjoys painting leaves, and the changing colors of Oregon foliage are visible in her work. In 2001, Melissa began teaching art classes, which has allowed her to view her own artwork in a new way. “The information that flows in a class is awesome,†she says. Melissa is constantly learning from the students in her classes, and is more conscious of what it means to be an artistic role model.

About the Artist
Brilliant prismatic trees radiate in artist Naoko Tadotsu’s expressionist compositions. “I am always in awe of nature, color, and light,†says Naoko.
