Melinda K. Hall – Felis Leo: The Mane Man

Description

Melinda K. Hall was born in Chicago, moving West to receive her BBA from Southern Methodist University in 1972. Hall was drawn by her love of the freedom and self-expression in artmaking, leaving her business in Texas to continue her education with graduate-level courses at New Mexico State University in 1987. In her work, Hall captures ordinary objects and simple pleasures. Her highly pigmented oil paintings are infused with humorous elements, playful images, and informal text; allowing the viewer to join in Hall’s spirited and child-like exploration of life. Her work has been shown in gallery and museum venues, public and private collections, and both nationally and internationally since 1990. Hall lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico with her adorable cat Skauti and Australian Shepherd pup, Piper.
