Melonie C.

Daughter of a professional artist and greenhouse proprietor, I grew up surrounded by the magic of color and given the tools and understanding to reimaging the world around me. I found inspiration and solace gazing at the richly colored, dynamic works of Thomas Hart Benton, Housed by The Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. Inherently curious, I explore and push myself in a variety of mediums. I live by the motto, “Leave it better than I found it!” and I strive to connect with people in meaningful and impactful ways.
