Melissa Zink born in 1932 in Kansas City, MO. was an American artist. She was educated at the Emma Willard School, Swarthmore College, the University of Chicago, and the Kansas City Art Institute.Her first exhibition was in 1978 at the Clay and Fiber Gallery in Taos.

Zink's 1994 show, "The Book People and the Thumbprint Editions" introduced computer image enhancement to her aesthetic arsenal. In 1995 "An Inquiry into the Elegantly Implacable Roots of Memory" used roots for a study of aesthetic and personal roots and the formal possibilities of black and graphite in making art. "The Secret Syntax" in 1998 was a series of small works, each 9 by 9 inches, within which she played freely with painting, sculpture and found objects. Her summer, 1999 show, "From the Lost Library: Volumes and Illustrations," explored the influence of her art heroes, from the Flemish masters through Francis Bacon.

Zink has been cited for the psychological aspects of her art. . She has also been featured in Taos Magazine
