About
Hello everyone!
My name is Melissa Huang, and I’m a second year fine arts studio major at Rochester Institute of Technology. Due to a number of amazing influences including family, friends, teachers, and completely badass feminist organizations both on and offline I’ve really become interested in how art and gender relate with one another (Hint: a lot. A surprising amount in fact).
This blog has become a way to discuss how women and men are viewed as a subject in art, how gender affects the treatment of artists past, present, and future, and includes a smattering of plain old rants about women’s rights and about art in general.
So go ahead and read. Comment if you will, I’d love to hear your thoughts and feelings on this subject. Or, if that’s not really your style, check out some of my work under the ‘portfolio’ link in the upper right.
Melissa-I just stumbled upon your blog when I was searching the web for Petah Coyne’s art work. I am so glad I did
Your blog is so cool. Thanks for all the great information you are writing about!
Sincerely,
Stephanie
I’m really glad that you like the blog Stephanie, and I hope that the Coyne post was helpful to you. Thanks so much for visiting and commenting! It’s always wonderful to get positive feedback.
I love your blog. I’ve been interested in gender in art, particularly painting, for a very long time because despite popular thought, it’s inherent in everything and so important to acknowledge. I grad’d Emily Carr University of Art & Design (Vancouver, Canada) in 2011 and am now making art in Goteborg, Sweden.
I’ll be following your blog,
Monika
Thanks Monika!
