Melissa Meyer

Melissa Meyer is an American abstract painter known for her vibrant, lyrical canvases that blend gestural abstraction with a keen sense of color and pattern. Emerging from the post-minimalist milieu of 1970s New York, she developed a distinctive style that draws on both the traditions of Abstract Expressionism and a more intimate, decorative sensibility. Her work has been exhibited widely and she has taught for many years at New York University, where she has been an influential figure in arts education.
