About
Down by the Styx, the boundary between, we listen to the owl's call, and watch patiently the pale light of the waning moon.
Melissa Sullivan is a hedge-wandering art witch born and raised in Los Angeles, California. As a self-taught artist and poet, her work explores spirit, memory, the transient nature of existence, and what remains in the wake of decay. Synthesizing various mediums to bring her visions to life, she utilizes raw edges and imperfections to reflect the fragility of all matter.
When not working, she enjoys spending time with her daughter, watching old sitcoms and horror movies, divination, and reading cozy mysteries.
Haunting the edges of the Los Angeles art scene since 2007, Melissa’s work has been featured in exhibitions across the city. Additionally, she was the co-owner and curator of the Land of Odd Gallery from 2009-2012. Melissa’s writings have been featured in publications including The COVID Verses from Paddler Press and LOST FUTURES from EXIT Press.
