Custom and Editorial Illustrations
Melissa's editorial illustrations express the hope and the beauty that is in the world, all you have to do is look around. Her work captures the mystical enchantments in an ever-changing universe, from the wonders of butterflies to the active imaginations that captivate children's minds, to the sensuality of a woman's curves. Her editorial illustrations come alive on the pages of the world wide web, book covers, poster art, and on the walls of art galleries.
This is one of my joy's, Yeager. He is 6 years old and was recently diagnosed with SARDS which is causing him to lose his sight. For a couple of weeks he was stuck in a depression. He couldn't see the squirrels to chase or the cows to bark at. He was consistently bonking his head on doorways and he became afraid to move.
It has taken sometime but he is beginning to adapt and there is a wonderful stubbornness about him that won't give up. He can't see to jump on the couch anymore but when he thinks I'm not there, he blindly takes the leap to get on the couch.
I am often hesitant to take that blind leap into insecurity. You never know when you take that leap if you're going to fall and bonk your head but you may just land on a soft cushion or even learn to fly.

If you go to an artist's house for Christmas, expect a colorful meal. Purple mash potatoes are the bomb and chillin' by the Christmas lights is bliss.

The reason for traveling to Santa Fe was to celebrate the 100th Birthday of the artist Clark Hulings. His legacy, @clarkhulingsfoundation has been inspirational, encouraging, and extremely helpful and inspiring to me. If you’re an artist and wondering how to go about breaking the starving artist stereotype, then check them out. Knowledge is power.
