GROUP AFFILIATIONS
"The images I create are often reflective of particular moments in my life or certain events in the world around me. Working on digital images — processing, probing, constantly exploring colors, light and shadows — gives me a sense of balance and appreciation for diversity and cohesion. My constant desire to create a happy union of elements in my art echoes my philosophy that we should strive to live as one with the community around us.”
Bio:
Melissa Nolledo-Christoffels is a photo journalist for Manila Bulletin-USA and staff writer of the Asians in America Project. Her work has graced magazines and book covers and has been part of several exhibitions on both the east and west coasts. Born in Manila to renowned writers Blanca and Wilfrido Nolledo, she was raised both in the United States and the Philippines. She studied Humanities at the University of the Philippines during the turbulent Marcos years. Her family returned to the USA in 1989 and she now resides in Eugene, Oregon with her husband and three children. Melissa believes passionately in “promoting cultural diversity and awareness” and serves as a board member of several community organizations such as Asian Council and the Philippine American Chamber of Commerce of Oregon (PACCO).
