Melisha May’s work explores the emotional and physical realities of domestic life, translating acts of care into expressive mark-making. Using everyday tools like brushes and cloths, she mirrors the repetitive rhythms of maintaining a home and raising a child. Layers of erased and rebuilt surfaces evoke memory, maternal experience, and the strength found in vulnerability. Influenced by the female Abstract Expressionists, May transforms the overlooked rituals of domesticity into a bold visual language of resilience and connection.
