Welcome!!
Hi. I'm Melanie, an Indigenous portrait artist, who teaches online art classes to thousands of women around the world. I am a trained Expressive Arts Practitioner and experienced educator of 24 years.
I am from the Squamish First Nation in Vancouver, Canada and I draw from my traditional ancestry and teachings in my art practice and lessons.
I provide gentle guidance and encouragement for women, so they can experience the medicines of art and build their own unique artistic voice. I believe in you.
“Melanie is such a gentle soul with so much to give. She is very inspiring to a healthy practice involving mind/body/spirit in an artful way.”

“Stillness is about focusing on nothingness; it’s about creating a clearing.
It’s opening up an emotionally clutter free space and allowing ourselves to feel
and think and dream and question.”
