Ola. I'm Melissa Strawser. I'm a passionate intaglio printmaker and metal sculptress. I have been collaborating with Bertoia for over 25 years. I'm a 4th Generation Woman Artist raised in a family setting of Folk Artists. I trained in London with Maestro Printmakers.  I enjoy tireless scientific innovation devoted to my studio practice.  My ideas are sustainable through nature and I love the feeling of sharing my love for art with you.   You'll see your everyday in my Art and I hope it gives you that warm, wonderful feeling I have when I lift up the paper off my press to see the image that I created. I'm informed by Science, inspired by Nature & Art and motivated by Compassion.  Thank you so much!
