Olmos Mockingbird Handprints Gallery will host Melissa Grace Young for an opening reception to her exhibit of Soulful Sisters on Saturday, October 21 from 4 – 6 pm, including a lively artist talk about her work at 5:00 PM. She’ll discuss her figurative renderings of strong madonnas and how her creations follow her personal inner journey and evolution. Dialogue and questions are highly encouraged!
This exhibit includes her latest series of five ‘Sisters on a Mission’, taking inspiration from our San Antonio Missions and rich local heritage, and manifested though her focused madonna perspective.
Melissa Grace Young
Growing up in San Antonio, artistic expression began for me with scissors and crayons and paste and paints. Now I create because I must, for peace of mind, for my sanity really. And as I must, I’ve found ways to make art a big part of my life.
For the past twenty years, I’m drawn to figure and portrait sketching and painting, particularly the female form. And especially the divine female form: the madonna, with halos and hands and flaming hearts and crowns. I find myself creating madonnas of vivid colors and unbalanced facial features and body parts; so few things in life are perfect, and yet they can be so perfectly beautiful.
These days I fill journals with images of everyday wonders, and transcendent figures with extraordinary vision and strength, and I teach art journaling to help others on their creative journeys. My journal works inform my madonnas paintings and mixed media portraits of uncanny funkiness.
Melissa will also have some of her linocuts available in the show.

“I have made a series of niches, with the idea of a place to hold a memory, a time, an emotion, something lost and gone from my past. This quote from Pablo Neruda was in mind while making the pieces, “So I wait for you like a lonely house till you see me again and live in me.” For me the quote touched on the bittersweet feeling of remembering beautiful times and wanting what was to come back and knowing it will not.”
Ceramica Botanica is her company name, which focuses on functional pottery that celebrates daily living. Susan has shown in many shops, galleries and participated in various shows throughout the country. The plates and platters in show coordinate with the niches also in this body of work.

Dan and Deb closed their beloved restaurant, AdelAnte, on April 1, 2022 after 40 years of serving a healthy alternative TEXHEALTH. What to do in the next chapter? Well, art is a big part, along with family, traveling, and doing whatever makes them happy.
Deb has always been in love with pottery. An avid collector. Drawn to the process of hand building-like when rolling out dough…
Dan’s work is mixed media, combining ink, paint and colored pencil. Being insprired by Mexican folk art-unfiltered and raw from the heart.
