Mel Meyer became Brother Mel when he joined the Marianist order in 1948. Well-educated (he got a master's in Fine Art from Notre Dame) and well-traveled (he studied and traveled extensively in Europe), Mel became the first Marianist to take on art as a vocation, in the late 1960s. His constantly evolving technique has included countless combinations of watercolor, oil painting, metal sculpture and various other media, utilized to create both abstract and figurative work.
