I have several pieces of Melanie's fine artwork. What I like about her paintings is that they are alive, colorful, and cheerful and have a message.

Melanie's works of art are best described as "thoughtful inspiring simplicity." Her Artist Refined style is alluring to the eye, mind and spirit. Each piece fills you with the array of emotions one encounters in life. Thank you for sharing your gift.

“I purchased three of Melanie's original paintings in the "Strokes of Sedona" series. I bought the first one during an art show, and the other two I commissioned to compliment the first. The only thing I discussed with Melanie was the size of the two pieces and left the design to her imagination and expertise. I was extremely satisfied with the quality of work and how each piece compliments the other. I love, love, love them.”

I have a painting and it was the inspiration for my kitchen. The painting helps bring my kitchen together color wise. Also it's a very nice piece.
