We all need a few more moments to reflect on nature’s many beautiful forms. Melissa is an adult taught artist; she has studied under many accomplished artists. A life-long creative, she has always found vents for her creativity such as writing, crafting, gardening, and cooking. Choosing watercolor for professional endeavors, Melissa loves to take advantage of the flow and freedom of wet into wet;
then allow it to dry to get more detailed. Experience builds only to reinforce that allowing the paint to do its thing is always the best bet. Melissa can be found teaching at many venues in and around Pittsburgh. She fancies herself very approachable, recognizing that there are many 'right' ways to make art. Artistic marks are like signatures, unique to the individual. And, she likes to introduce creativity to those who either think they can't or just haven't experienced the joy yet. If you are comfortable with your creative chops, she can offer a new project or perspective that will open your eyes to fresh opportunities.
