Joan Mellon Bio & Statement
Joan Mellon, a native New Yorker, is an artist working abstractly in two and three dimensions.
Mellon’s paintings and work on paper are in the collections of the Franklin Furnace Archives at the Museum of Modern Art, Johnson & Johnson, New York Public Library / Artist Books & Prints, and private collectors. Exhibition highlights of her two and three-dimensional work include one-person shows in the NY Metropolitan area and group shows in the U.S. and Europe. Her work has also appeared in catalogues and academic publications. She has taught workshops in two and three-dimensional media, curated exhibitions, and written an art related newsletter called Wednesday Weekly.
Joan Mellon earned her BFA from School of Visual Arts (NYC) and a MA in Liberal Studies at SUNY
Empire State College (NYC) where she has been an adjunct mentor.      www.joanmellon.com

Painting for me is pleasure. The physical act of painting is a kind of dance. The focus of my paintings is on color, simple composition, and an exploration of the possibilities of paint combining flat and gestural brushstrokes. As a painter working abstractly, I am always surprised to see how colors, shapes, and chance happenings on a two dimensional surface can come together to create an emotional response. For me, the  magic of painting happens when, after applying paint and wiping it off perhaps hundreds of times, there is that moment when—suddenly—the surface that was once inanimate, comes alive.
