About the Artist

Zachary Melisi graduated from Colby-Sawyer College in 2017 with a B.S. in Environmental Science.

He has since pursued a career in education and the arts, journeying through the wildest New England suburbs in search of the fantastical. He shares his findings in a variety of media that blend influences from nature and landscape art with folklore and fairy tales. Zachary is currently living in the Boston area and spends his time painting and patiently teaching the local scrubland to read.
