About the Item
Melissa Ellis’s work investigates the expressive and sensory possibilities of color through abstract sculptural oil painting. Built through layers of pigment and texture, her paintings balance spontaneity and control, revealing shifting tonalities that suggest rhythm, atmosphere, and depth. Through her process, Ellis explores how color interacts with light and how subtle variations can evoke movement within stillness. Her paintings are both tactile and luminous, transforming as light moves across their surfaces.
Ellis lives and works in Marfa, TX. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Art History from the Louisiana State University and later attended the Chateaux Orquevaux Artist Residency, in Orquevaux, France. Her work has been exhibited extensively throughout Texas and in prominent private and corporate collections nationwide including Louis Vuitton, BeautyBio, Scottish Rite Hospitals, Texas Health Resources, and Paul Martin’s American Grill, among others.

Cool
By Melinda Hackett
Located in New Orleans, LA
Hackett’s paintings defy popular convention. They are not figurative, decorative, representative, or even completely abstract. While it is hard to tie them to any one style or movement, they manage to be a part of all of them. Hackett’s work is influenced by pattern, midcentury design, art of indigenous peoples, and the art and craft movement, combined with a loose examination of the natural world. She creates a visual environment that is both recognizable yet strangely mysterious. While steeped in art history and influenced by a range of artists from Miro to Arthur Dove, Charles Burchfield, Agnes Pelton, Florine Stettheimer...
