domestic madonna, mel meo
Mel Meo, a naïve, (primitive, untrained) artist. "Becoming an empty vessel thru which the spirit can flow." Home for thirty years, indeed the spirit of Pine Island flows from her brush. Fisher's wife, mother, writer, friend of cancer, painting locally, thinking globally. Her work is a color fiesta of altered realism painted on whatever surface is available. Some serious, most humorous all with spiritual undertones, full of passion and joy for life. She was "Arts for ACT 2002" featured artist. Widely collected and shown, her work has adorned many magazine covers, homes and public places. It is shown at Arts for ACT Gallery in historic downtown Fort Myers and by special appointment at her Pineland studio by calling 283-9484. <BR>Domestic Madonna is a mixed media sculpture using an antique ironing board, flag and strainer salvaged after the 2004 hurricanes, that honors the underappreciated job of our mothers/homemakers in today's corporate world. <BR>
