Melissa Callaway

Melissa H Callaway is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Charleston, SC with her husband and three young children. She has a BA in Textiles from Kansas City Art Institute and an MA in Art Psychotherapy from Roehampton University in London.

Textile processes such as: dyeing, stitching, quilting, weaving, and knitting are driven by play, material curiosity, the use of color, form, flow, pattern, creation, and destruction to explore the internal landscapes of memories and emotions.

Her inquiry into the experience of motherhood, heritage, and maternal mental health is driven by the belief that the creation of art is therapeutic, that symbolism and meaning are exposed through creativity, and that beauty can create space for solace and healing.
