Melissa Sadoff Oren studied visual and performing arts at Emory University. Upon graduation in 2000, she moved to Los Angeles and has participated in solo/group shows. Her art, a working investigation of the psychology behind color and its effects on mind and body, reflects her enchantment with hue, shape and balance. She works in layers to create texture. Oren was featured in Beverly Hills Magazine and several pieces can be seen on CBS-TV's How I Met Your Mother.
