Get Notified When E Melinda Posts Art BiographyAs a young woman, her B.A. in fine arts from the University of Texas at Tyler took a backseat to the corporate world for many years: advertising exec; graphic designer and art director of her own company; and later corporate and executive recruiter. Not surprisingly, she was recognized in national competitions for her print design and annual reports, but shortly after her move to Denver in 1994, the satisfied extrovert began to hear from the starving artist. She says she "felt like her soul was drying up". An oil-painting class at the Art Students' League of Denver rained water on that desert ground. Since that decision, Melinda has participated in over 8 one woman shows in Santa Fe, shown in national and regional shows and has gained recognition for her figurative paintings. Her work is collected among collectors across the US and internationally. She has been featured in major articles in national and regional magazines and newspapers such as Southwest Art, American Art Collector, The South African Artist Magazine, the Santa Fean Magazine, and Albuquerque Journal. She has been chosen several times as a finalist in the national Boldbrush art contest and over 20 times as FAV 15%. She has been a finalist twice in the Members Only Portrait Society of America Show, and placed 7th in the Animal Category. She has won awards of Excellence in National Oils and Acrylic Society (NOAPS) and Western Oil Painters of America and fall online OPA showcase. As a sought out teacher, she offers professional studies courses as well as offering workshop instruction from other nationally known artists. In 2019, Melinda met Julio Reese and Candice Bohannon. They introduced her to egg tempera. Since that time she has focused her energies towards mastering egg tempera. She now works in both oils and egg tempera. Melinda is currently represented by Alexandra Stevens Fine Art, Santa Fe, NM; Texas Treasures Fine Art, Boerne, TX; and Jack Meier Gallery, Houston, TX. She is a member of the Portrait Society of America and the America Impressionist Society. Learn More About E Melinda Morrison Who Does Kevin Macpherson Trust with His Website? FASO, of Course!
