Melissa Parrott Quimby is a contemporary visual artist who emphasizes the movement of shape and color in her paper collages, ceramic forms, abstract paintings and intuitive drawings. Her work is charged by the activity of creating a mark to capture a specific moment in time. Through a selective process of integrating bold, vivid hues she creates dynamic imagery that commands a rhythm of space inspired by nature. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in ceramics from Herron School of Art & Design in 1995 and her Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Delaware in 2003. Her work has been exhibited both regionally and nationally while being recognized with a variety of awards including a Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis in 2007 and Art in the Parks and Historic Sites from the Indiana Arts Commission in 2018. She has taught numerous workshops and currently teaches foundations and drawing at Herron School of Art & Design.
