Melissa Lea Simmons, Artist & Founder

Welcome ~ I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Melissa Lea Simmons, an expressionist painter working from my studio in Newfield, Maine. I use abstraction, color relationships, and layered marks to create luminosity and emotional presence.

Marie Florence Designs is where I share the ongoing story of my work. My faith and my New England life show up in the color, light, and marks that fill my canvases.

Whether you are a collector, a fellow creative, or a curious visitor, I hope this space feels warm, inspiring, and welcoming each time you visit.

To stay connected, I’d love for you to join VIPs through my contact form for updates on new work, exhibitions, and exclusive invitations.

Thanks for stopping in, friend.😊
