Los Angeles-based artist and educator, Melissa Manfull uses intricate pen and ink drawings to create disorienting spatial illusions through the expansion and dismantling of natural and man-made patterns. Her methodical approach to layering lines, washes and flat forms unite to create complex three-dimensional spaces. 

 Her work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions at Taylor De Cordoba, Los Angeles, and Five Years, London, England. Select group exhibitions include “Straddling the Boundaries” and “Witty and Urbane” at the Fellows of Contemporary Art, “Gravitas” at Brand Library and Art Center, “Structure Synthesis” at Irvine Fine Art Center, and “Abstracted Visions” at Cerritos College Art Gallery. Her work is included in the public collections of the Huntington Library and Art Collections, the Art in Embassies program as well as the collections of Google, Microsoft, Media Math and more.
