FEATURED ARTIST: Melody Farris-Jackson

Melody is a designer and visual artist that bridges the gap between concept and creation. 

Her original artwork created for the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games has a clever twist on our traditional views of the horse…She paints and draws them in plan, or from a top view looking down. What she reveals is a unique perspective that truly showcases the beauty and grace of a horse’s movement and form…a dance, a song, an instrument of precision and skill.

As a designer, she has worked on creative concepts for companies such as Nike, Siemens, Toyota, and NASA. She has served as faculty for both the University of Kentucky’s College of Design and Eastern Kentucky University’s Art & Design Department. She received her Masters of Architecture from of Cornell University.

As an artist, she has had work displayed in galleries in New York and Kentucky. And this spring selected to exhibit work in the 2010 Governor’s Derby Exhibition in Frankfort, Kentucky. 

She is the president and owner of Architectural Ink.
