Commentary on my work:

"Employing an arsenal of digital tools, Melissa Lambert mines a hallucinatory territory embedded with personal codes and signals that lend her dizzying, pixelated surfaces unusual depth" - Michael Ned Holte, writer

---

"Melissa Lambert's atmospheric images of live jazz in LA embrace the mood, giving imagery to the music itself. Employing a variety of tools, the photographs exist on multitude of levels. Notes and phrases lyrically weave in and out of one another, providing a rich canvas of rhythm and melody. The image becomes the music"

-- Greg Cohen, photographer, curator, and writer

"Melissa Lambert wants to preserve the magic of the moment as she photographs jazz musicians playing in dark, smoky clubs. She then draws directly onto the photographic images. The result: fresh, surreal and kinetic."- Diana Zlotnick, Newsletter on the Arts

From the Baseball Reliquary's website:

"The Baseball Reliquary is a nonprofit, educational organization dedicated to fostering an appreciation of American art and culture through the context of baseball history and to exploring the national pastime's unparalleled creative possibilities. The Baseball Reliquary gladly accepts the donation of artworks and objects of historic content, provided their authenticity is well documented. The Baseball Reliquary is supported in part by a grant from the Los Angeles County Arts Commission."

I am very excited to be one of the artists in this upcoming event. Even if you don't like baseball, this event presents defaced baseball cards, invented baseball cards, and electronically altered cards (how I created mine) in a humor-touched way that anyone can enjoy.
