Melissa is an acrylic artist whose work captures the quiet beauty and emotion of coastal landscapes. Drawing inspiration from her lifelong love of the beach, she creates serene ocean and shoreline scenes that blend soft color palettes with expressive, textured brushwork. Each piece reflects her belief that art can transport, calm, and reconnect us to the natural world. When she’s not painting, Melissa shares her passion for creativity as an art teacher, encouraging her students to explore their own imagination with the same sense of wonder that inspires her work.
