About

Melissa Gonzales

Melissa Gonzales is a multidisciplinary artist whose work examines control, the search for “enough,” and the futility of perfection. Through clay, rocks, and natural materials, she creates objects and performances that reveal the push and pull between human intention and material resistance. Her work traces effort, surrender, and the quiet persistence of the natural world. Gonzales lives and works in the Pacific Northwest.
