Melissa H Callaway is a multi-disciplinary artist who currently resides on James Island in Charleston, SC with her husband and three young children.  She has a BA in Textiles from Kansas City Art Institute and an MA in Art Psychotherapy from Roehampton University in London.

Textiles processes such as: dyeing, stitching, quilting, weaving and knitting are driven by play, material lead curiosity, the use of color, form, flow, pattern, creation and destruction to explore the internal landscapes of memories and emotions.

Her enquiry into the experience of motherhood, heritage and maternal mental health is driven by the belief that the creation of art is therapeutic, that symbolism and meaning are exposed through creativity, and that beauty can create space for solace and healing.
