Despite dealing with chronic pain and other physical challenges, Melissa finds peace within her paintings and poetry. She has been part of several exhibitions and been a guest speaker/artist in Kentucky, New York, Michigan and California. Melissa captivates her audiences with her exuberance, passion, vulnerability, humor and honesty. Her art and poetry speak to the hearts of audiences of all ages because it is so pure. Each piece or poem represents her journey with God… a lesson learned, a prayer spoken, a tear wiped, true joy lived, hope reborn and a faith evolving.
Artist Statement:
‘’Ask for the grace to let God continue to sculpt or paint me in different images. Those images [good and bad] make up a collection that becomes a masterpiece. Once I am finished and framed, the complete painting will be hung on heaven’s walls.”
