MELANIE G. DANTE`
works & lives between the old "Pleasure Point"
neighborhood in the Fishtown- Kensington
section of Philadelphia & "Brewerytown" near the
Art Museum. In 2003 she graduated with a Bachelor of
Arts from Goddard College where she studied creative -
critical writing, media arts & photography as a tool
for cross cultural communication. Examples of her photography
and mixed media collage art could be seen in Lancaster County
community exhibitions the summer of her graduation through her
move to Philadelphia. In 2006 she received a Master of Arts in
the Health Arts & Sciences for technical writing &
qualitative research with a firm focus on women's
health. Prior to moving to Lancaster City in 1999 Melanie spent eleven years in New York City & San Francisco working as a crew member on independent film, documentary & theater.
NOW in Philadelphia for 2013 Melanie is actively metamorphosing
her creative vision from the Lancaster farmers markets into a
polished, fashionable, commercial realm; all while remaining
true to her educational roots in social
justice. While working with Melanie during study at Goddard College, Katt Lissard wrote: "(She) was always a pleasure to work with ... She's articulate, intelligent, highly creative, and has a strong sense of justice and the individual's right to personal freedom. Her work moves between the transgressive & the transformative, always including compassion & heart".
