About
Melissa Louis Bolger is a California Native and was raised outside of Redding California near Whiskeytown Lake where her parents settled on a remote piece of property, built a house and raised their family Off the Grid. Her mother sewed the family's clothes and other household items. For Bolger the woods were her playground and she grew up hiking, fishing, hunting, riding horses and panning for gold. Some of her early artistic influences come from those days living off a dirt road overlooking a canyon and Creek when to do it yourself was the only way to get things done. Today she merges the techniques of craft with Fine Art and her interpretive portraits recycled materials paintings and drawings.
Bolger has been exhibited in Solo and group shows across the San Francisco Bay area and venues that include Ruth's Table, SFArtsEd, Root Division, Piedmont Center of the Arts, Oakland Museum of California, Bedford Gallery and the Marine Museum of Contemporary Art. Her work has been reviewed in Publications that include the Contra Costa Times and the East Bay Express.
