Mel Antuna Hewitt

Mel is a German Mexican-American book artist based in Spokane Valley, WA. She attends the American Academy of Bookbinding while teaching classes on the book arts at Spokane Print & Publishing Center of which she is a member-owner and active board member. Her work ranges from utilitarian one-of-a-kind journals to sculptural artist books. As a book artist it is her mission to explore the narrative of the book: as an art piece and as a means of holding and conveying knowledge. Mel is a 2021 recipient of a Spokane Arts Grant Award for her artist book "Grown Up's First Alphabet." You can also find her knitting socks while binging a show on Hulu or indoor rock climbing with her husband and two kids.
