About the Artist
Melissa Milton
Melissa Milton is a former attorney who began creating art late in life after becoming disabled by a neurological disorder called Dysautonomia. She mostly paints while lying down due to physical limits with standing up and sitting up. Dysautonomia, basically involves one's nervous system giving incorrect instructions to one's body, especially the circulatory system. The body’s circulatory system no longer copes well with the effects of gravity. Although she is limited in her movements on land, Melissa moves about quite well in the low gravity environment of water. She therefore spends a lot of time in water. The daily hours spent moving about freely in water have played a large role in influencing her art. The figures or objects in her artwork often glide about effortlessly with water’s weightlessness and fluidity. The paint layers are themselves often translucent like water.
