Learn more about Melissa Lea

Hello and Welcome!

Thanks for stopping in to learn more about my art. 

My art is inspired by the colorful art of my mother and grandmother, the favorite flowers of my childhood, the gardens of my today, the farms, mountains and fresh waters of my New England home, and by my experience of God’s wonderful creatures and creations; and to me, they are all indeed wonder-full.

I paint mostly with acrylic and often add media such as soft pastels, oil pastels, gouache, markers, charcoal, and collage. Canvas and paper (frameable art) are my preferred substrates, but I have also painted furniture and home decor items, and create digital art. Commissions are available.

 
I was born and raised in New Hampshire (USA), where I lived until our recent move to Maine. I enjoyed a full career in Business Administration and Education, and earned my Bachelor of Science from Southern NH University.

Your spirit should be edified, uplifted, and curious when you experience my art. Maybe a piece will cause you to pause a moment, release your thoughts, and explore possibilities. This is my intention: to earn a living by doing what I love.
