Melissa DelPrete

Rooted in traditions of craft and formal elements of expressionism, Melissa Delprete’s work combines atmospheric color fields and intuitive calligraphic mark-making. Her process is heavily informed by the archetypal qualities of chaos, and her compositions mimic the rhythmic patterns and currents of animate energy that span the natural world, metropolises and the human psyche. Ultimately, setting out to document the metaphysical and grounding it in physical form.

Originally from New York, Delprete received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and then her MS in Art Education from LIU Post. She is currently based in Lake Worth Beach, FL and in 2021 she founded mtn space, a gallery that focuses on exhibiting the work of emerging and established artists.
