Artist: Melissa Harshman
Title: Diver
Melissa Harshman received her MFA from the University of Wisconsin- Madison
in 1992. She has been teaching printmaking at the Lamar Dodd School of Art
at the University of Georgia since the fall of 1993. She has been the Chair
of the Printmaking Department since 2000.
Harshman’s recent paintings and prints are conceived with sketches made
on the computer. Images begin with a scanned image from sources such as dictionaries,
children’s workbooks, coloring books or other eclectic material. The
image is then layered with a variety of text and other images that create
new meanings in the final piece. If the idea is to be made into a painting,
the image is translated to canvas using acrylic paints and collaged layers.
If the final product is to be a print the image is separated into four-color
separations and printed via traditional methods such as lithography or serigraphy.
Some of the images are completely whimsical while others have underlying political
content. Harshman states, “My goal is to create work that is aesthetically
pleasing as well as conceptually significant.”

Title: 01
I became interested in photography at the age of six, and I was always intrested
in beauty. For four years I was a student of the Art Academy of drawing. My
first steps in photography were only with nature and landscapes. I learned
the art of photography from observing nature and through my mistakes. While
working for an advertising agency. I published a multimedial CDR titled,”Italy”.
I have taken places in several photo competitions, and worked on photoillustrations
for another book. The most important subject for me in art are humans. A portion
of the activities in my work, I paint in oil on canvas, I then make the image
through digital manipulation and I also draw. I have many of my ideas expressed
in my photography through my art while trying to capture their images through
the camera lens.
