• Aloha!

      Recently, I have become more and more passionate about how desperately we need to reach out to one another in love as I watch the current state of our world.

       

      Each of us, no matter our differences, yearn to experience more joy, peace, and hope. These are common human needs placed in our hearts by the One who created us all, and met then in so many different ways - art being one of them!

       

      My art is infused with meaning as I express these most basic heart needs. My greatest hope is that as you explore my website, my art and the stories behind it, will touch you personally today. And in turn, as you are encouraged, I hope you will be able to turn and touch another’s heart who is in need of joy, peace and hope.

       

      Melanie
