Mélissa Gustafson
I've always wanted to capture and show the beauty I see in the world: the pink of a flower, the silhouette of a tree against a night sky. While I use visual arts to express my appreciation of beauty, poetry is the means by which I express and explore my life's experiences to understand the depths of my emotions and how this world is at once beautifully and devastatingly fucked.
Once I decided that I could, the world of art opened up to me, or, I opened up to it.
