The Colors of a Boston Artist: whimsical, joyous, funky, innocent, chic...
Melissa enjoys the study and distortion of lines and perception in her paintings and photography. Not quite abstract, yet not quite realistic, her paintings reflect the uncertainty, humor, and surprises of life.
A happy blend and influence of Matisse, Picasso and Rousseau, Melissa's art is engaging in its innocence and beguiling in its chic. The level of sophistication in her art belies its simplicity and candor. Her paintings are perfect for anyone who appreciates utter joy expressed on canvas and is interminably young at heart. It's hard to keep from smiling while exploring Melissa Fassel Dunn's magical world of enchantment, innocence and fun.
In her paintings, Melissa prefers the bright to the dull; the whimsical to the ordinary. Melissa strives to capture beauty and simplicity in her photography, which often serves as the creative fuel for her paintings.
