Melody has been an artist since she was a young girl. Having studied at both Sonoma State University in California and Portland School of Art in Maine, Melody owned a successful gallery/studio in San Angelo, Texas where she taught classes and displayed her work. Her paintings are now in public and private collections around the country.

After ten years focusing mainly on raising her two beautiful children, Melody has returned to the professional world as a painter of miniatures. She lives and works in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts while tending to a menagerie that includes a horse, a husband, three cats, two kids, and a dog…all of whom have modeled for her at one point or another. Melody’s newest work is available exclusively on e-Bay through Art Cards, Editions and Originals (ACEO). Above is an example of some recent work.

Artist's statement:

"When I begin a painting of a particular animal (or landscape) I find myself becoming slowly and completely enamored with God’s perfect creation. With each stroke I am more in awe of this spirit and throw myself into capturing what inspires me. Its a process filled with heart and my hope is that I can convey at least some of this feeling."
