So here's the story:

Melissa graduated from college with a Bachelor’s of fine Art Degree back in 2008. She had been working at a printing facility for years watching all sorts of art files pass through her hands. Meanwhile she worked on her own pieces after dark once everyone managed to find their way to bed. One day Melissa took a hard look at herself and decided it’s time to stop working in the shadows. She had been illustrating since 2018 in her New England home; nearly all of her work sat in piles or in cabinets out of view. Through the support of friends and family she was able to take her illustrations from her home studio and share them in a light where everyone could enjoy them. She hopes that each new piece will pass along the same feelings of love and purpose that went into each stroke.
