Melissa
Ulto is an interdisciplinary artist who utilizes modern and
traditional mediums to create her works. Born in Los Angeles,
she grew up in various cities and towns in Northern Ontario, with
summer vacations spent with extended family in New York.
Artistically inclined from a very early age, her skill grew under
several private teachers and her own obsessive creative
investigations. After attending college briefly, Melissa moved to New
York in 1991. She began integrating her computer skills with her
creative skills, and launched her first online exhibit in 1994.
Continuing her education, she found her multimedia and fine art
professors interested in her work, while at the same time unable to
recommend a method of showing her pieces, which often involved
computers, video, paintings, photography and assemblage. Melissa
found the Web to be ideal in creating a time/space that engages the
audience in both moving and still imagery presentations.
She
currently resides in New York, working professionally as a
Digital Video Specialist at Columbia University, and
continues to pursue her work with her online exhibit, unMade
Movie.
She recently showed her work at AugustArt 2001 in New York, as
part of a group show of upcoming artists. Her
work has gained international attention, and will be featured in
several online galleries.
