Melissa Perhamus is a mixed media artist based in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Her work explores the layered relationships between nature, memory, and personal geography—often weaving together abstraction, mapping, and symbolic imagery. Blending elements of abstract expressionism and surrealism, she creates richly textured pieces that echo the emotional terrain of lived experience. Melissa’s creative process is guided by curiosity and intuition. Whether working with drawing, collage, paint, or found materials, she approaches each piece as a space for discovery—where internal and external landscapes meet.
