Celebrate belonging with a custom painting
Portraits can be a keepsake to memorialize a house you grew up in, a thoughtful gift from a realtor to a client, a chance to market properties in a novel way, or a memento celebrating your wedding venue. Some places are much more than a pin on a map.

“Melissa was such a pleasure to work with and I will be happily coming back to her not only for more paintings, but to brainstorm on other ideas for gifts as I think the quality of her work and attention to detail was amazing. Once I got into speaking with her about what I had in mind I knew I wanted to work with her. One of the first things that came up when we first started speaking was this: “I’d love to also hear a little about your clients and their connection to their new home.” To me, that was all I needed to hear. For her to be so interested in learning about the family and their connection to the home showed me that she does these paintings from a place of love and it certainly shows in her work.”

My artwork focuses on the intricacies of a home that make it unique to each family. Whether it be a favorite climbing tree or carefully crafted wreath, I'm always looking to develop a sense of nostalgia in my paintings. Home portraits meld the physical pieces and complex emotions of a special place into a new perspective.
