TENNESSEE - On the heels of show featuring Jewish artist,
Leonard Pihas, Nashville's The Art Company is now featuring the deeply Roman Catholic artist, Bro. Mel. He has been a brother in the Society of Marianists, as well as a practicing artist all of his adult life. He completed a B.A. degree at the University of Dayton in 1947, followed by a master’s degree from Notre Dame in 1960. In between the two degrees, he traveled in Europe extensively, touring churches and museums via a moped. Since then, he has sustained an ever-expanding ability to create artwork in a variety of media and various commissions from churches, chapels, and synagogues. [
