Meet the artists!
Melanie Fisher, Sculpture artist
Melanie Fisher grew up with three sisters in Rochester, New York. She received her Bachelors of Science in Ceramics from the State University of New York at Buffalo State College, a Post Baccalaureate certificate at Indiana University Southeast and a Masters in Fine Arts degree in ceramics at Ohio University- also earning a certificate in Visual Arts Management. She has shown in galleries in New York, Indiana and Ohio as well as non-traditional spaces including the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens in 2019. Melanie attended residencies in the US as well as Beijing, China and Ottawa, Canada. She currently resides in Illinois where she teaches foundational and ceramic courses at the university level as well as community classes in ceramics. When she is not teaching, she works on her art practice in her glamorous basement studio!
Nate Phillips, Comic artist
Nate Phillips is a rochester transPlant living in Buffalo! He couldn't decide on a single medium so he is a freelance artist with his wet, webbed little flippers in all sorts of pockets of art, including (but not limited to) sculpting, painting, illustration, printmaking, animation, woodcarving, graphic novels, and fiber arts when he's feeling saucy. No matter what medium though, they all share the commonality of his deep love and fascination with the natural world.
