Melody Epperson lives her life with deep curiosity and an almost insatiable thirst for personal growth and lifelong learning. Her artwork, which is primarily painting with wax, focuses on her experience as a woman. She delves into personal subjects such as the inter-connection of life and universal truths as well as societal concepts like family and gender roles.
This exploration of curiosities started with her parents’ values of self-directed learning and a lifetime of attending and then teaching at an open-concept school. It was there that Melody developed her antistatic process that involves curiosity, reflection, and creative actions.
This desire to understand and learn explains why she has pursued art degrees at Metro State University, Leslie University, Goddard College, and Columbia College Chicago. She also enjoys anything that stimulates her own personal growth and is always creating new challenges for herself such as taking art classes and reading philosophy.
Melody recently received the PS You Are Here grant for her project “Tree Tales”, where she installed her artwork and audio recorded stories in 8 trees in La Alma/Lincoln Park in Denver Co. In her spare time, she is co-president of the Women’s Caucus for Art Colorado and a member of Next Gallery in Lakewood, Colorado. Every aspect of Melody’s life reflects her personal philosophy “Be Curious, Never Stop Growing, and Leave the World a Better Place”.
