INSTRUCTOR

Melissa Oresky's practice is rooted in painting and collage; primarily creating mixed media works on canvas and paper. She is interested in the landscape and considers it a bridge between painting, lived experience, environmental consciousness, and imagination. Melissa's goal in the classroom is to offer students practical knowledge paired with critical concepts and strategies to help them innovate and expand. When not making work, she is reading sci-fi novels, knitting, and spending time outdoors with her family. Melissa earned her MFA from UI-Chicago and is a Professor at Illinois State University.
