Mel is a contemporary landscape artist based in Colorado whose work is deeply inspired by her adventures as an avid hiker and outdoorswoman.

Growing up along the shores of Lake Erie, she developed a deep connection to nature that led her to the mountains to run wild and explore. Her paintings draw inspiration from the dynamic flow and reflections of water, as well as the vibrant colors and rich textures of mountainous landscapes.

In addition to her artistic practice, she is the founder of Denver Art Days LLC, where she shares her passion for art through engaging classes and workshops designed to inspire creativity in her community. Mel is also the founder of Colorado Muralists LLC, a dynamic platform that connects clients with talented muralists to bring bold, customized designs to life.
