Melissa Manfull's Exhibition

Melissa Manfull, who was a BFA Printmaking student quite a few years back, is currently having a solo exhibition of her drawings at the Taylor De Cordoba Gallery in LA. The exhibition runs until 3/28, & the gallery's hours are from 11 - 6 PM, Tues. - Sat. The address is: 2660 South La Cienega Blvd., phone # - 310/559-9156.
Her drawings have been referred to as "impossibly precise confections of architectural fancy, large & crisp, possessing the obsessive, joyful repetition of the old-school Spyrograph, with the nimble imagination of M.C. Escher." How can you resist going to see them?
