The Story Behind the Exhibit

Color Becomes brings together a new body of expressive abstract paintings by Melissa Casanova and handcrafted ceramic vessels by Virginia Casanova in a shared exploration of color, movement, and material.

For as long as I can remember, my mom and I have created together. What began with sharing art supplies around the kitchen table eventually became sharing ideas, techniques, and a lifelong love of making. This exhibition is the first time we’ve brought our individual practices together in one body of work, including pieces we created collaboratively for the first time.
