Melissa Scherrer Paré, bold color and ephemeral beauty Exhibit

The Museum of Wisconsin Art presents Melissa Scherrer Paré: Natural Selection, on view at MOWA / DTN. This exhibition, Paré creates ethereal silk paintings and textured paper pulp vessels that honor the beauty and complexity of the floral and geometric patterns remembered from the textiles of her childhood home. Together, these silks and vessels reflect a practice grounded in domestic materials and familial memory, where beauty is selected from daily life, shaped by hand, and reconfigured into arrangements of bold color, intuitive linework, and organic form. Natural Selection will be on view through August 31 at MOWA’s inside Saint Kate–The Arts Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. Then come visit MOWA in West Bend for more exhibitions.
