Evers

Like a little bird building its nest, she takes useful and interesting things that she finds and combines them with her heart & imagination. Melissa Evers grew up in Maryland & moved to North Carolina in 2011. She is primarily a self-taught artist. Recently, she completed an AFA at Wake Tech & is a graduate of the Interdisciplinary Arts at William Peace University. She loves learning & experimenting throughout her life & alongside others.

Many of the objects in my work are things I have found, things others have lost. These fragments carry histories and tenderness; we all lose something at some point, and these remnants become part of the story I tell. My practice is rooted in printmaking, with a particular love for monotype. I layer hand-printed marks with botanicals, textures, and patterns, allowing organic forms to guide the composition. Leaves, stems, and natural impressions become both surface and symbol, honoring growth, impermanence, and connection. Each piece is built through intuitive layering—pressing, lifting, revealing—embracing the unexpected and the one-of-a-kind nature of the process. Through these works, I invite a sense of adventure and play. Find adventures, create something, and use your heart and imagination to build a loved life—one shaped by noticing, gathering, and honoring what remains.
