Meet the Artists
Melissa Casanova
Melissa Casanova is a Dominican-American contemporary artist based in Richmond, Virginia. Working primarily in oils and mixed media, she creates vibrant, layered work exploring memory, heritage, place, and the natural world. Her work is held in private and corporate collections, and she was recently named Richmond Magazine’s Best Local Artist for the second consecutive year.
Virginia Casanova
Virginia Casanova is a ceramic artist whose handcrafted vessels celebrate movement, texture, color, and expressive mark-making. Working in clay for more than 15 years, she creates sculptural forms that embrace experimentation and the unexpected.
For Color Becomes, mother and daughter also collaborated directly on a selection of ceramic works, bringing their individual approaches together on the same pieces for the first time.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
The Crone House
Color Becomes was co-produced with The Crone House, a women-led gallery based in Richmond, Virginia, founded by artist and gallerist Sylvia Mallory. The Crone House connects women still making art with the badass women collecting their work through curated exhibitions, art buying services, and partnerships with women-owned businesses throughout Virginia and beyond.
