Our Current Exhibit
Melissa Miller Nece for a reception on Friday, June 25th from 5-6:45 pm.
The free reception is a wonderful way to
meet this talented artist!
The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center is pleased to present Drawn to Water featuring colored pencil works by Melissa Nece. The exhibit will
be on display at the Hayner Center from June 25 - August 15, 2021. The public is invited to a reception honoring the artist on Friday, June 25th from 5:00 to 6:45 pm. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public.
Melissa Miller Nece graduated from Troy High School in 1970. She holds a BFA from Lake Erie College and has lived in Florida since 1989. She is an instructor who inspires many to draw and paint through her classes and workshops. Since 1990, Melissa has primarily taught at the Dunedin Fine Art Center in Florida. She served as Ways-and-Means Director and President of the Colored Pencil Society of America for 12 years. She is currently Corporate Relations Director for CPSA. Melissa Nece holds CPSA (fifteen-year) and CPX (five-year) signature memberships. She exhibits with and is active in numerous other artist groups, including international miniature art societies.
The artist is a frequent prizewinner in international and statewide shows. Her drawings and paintings are in private, corporate and public collections including the offices of the Cumberland Pencil Company (Derwent) in England. Multiple manufacturers of art materials often ask her to test products, and they have used her work for promotional materials and packaging. She has also written for The Artist’s Magazine.
“I am called to the beach” says Melissa, “my art usually starts there. The natural environment inspires me by itself, but it’s also a stage for human activity. My drawings include both elements: energy and color brought by people interacting with each other and with sand, water and sky.”
The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center is proudly supported by the citizens of the Troy City School District through a local tax levy and generous gifts to the Friends of Hayner.
