Melissa Schappell Art
The works featured in this gallery are from my Expectations, Environmental Factors, and Chronic Illness series'. The common thread that binds them all is my deep interest in psychology and the desire to understand that which instigates or influences the development of our behaviors, opinions, and decision making. They confront expectations and perceived reality as it relates to gender roles, relationships and sexuality, politics or religion, mental health, chronic illness, and social constructs and systems.
