Melissa Menzer....
Melissa loves to scour the flea
markets and second hand stores for the items that make her sculpted
personalities, truly, one-of-a-kind.
For as long as she can remember, she has loved to sculpt people and
animals out of clay. She is fascinated with the 1930's and 40's, black
memorabilia, old advertising, robots and holiday decorations.
Her parents were artists and antiques dealers, so you can see their
influence rubbing off in her nostalgic style. The faces that she creates
are imbued with quirky personalities, and formed by the collection of
objects that Melissa has chosen to make up the bodies.
Melissa's Spoon Beams are currently featured in the current Art Doll
