When Melissa found her way back to watercolor in 2010, a whole new world opened up.

Her art helped in her healing process from challenging events like a heartbreaking divorce and the loss of her Father. Melissa’s mission is to share her love of watercolor with others to help them on their creative or healing journeys and to just make the world a more beautiful place.

She hosts watercolor workshops and Creative Retreats throughout Long Island’s East End, Connecticut, Utah and Florida as well as virtual lessons and classes. She’s also available for private classes, parties, and corporate team-building events.

Sailing Art Class with Crowned Fit

Saturday, March 21, 2026, 1030 AM-1230 PM

Doodles, 55 Pennsylvania Ave, Niantic CT

Members of Crowned Fit come and paint with me! We will explore creating with my NEW watercolor art kits. I’ll lead you step by step through the process, mixing colors, creating layers, and finishing the piece. Participants will take home the remaining kit supplies to continue creating on their own. Painting is a great escape to a peaceful place for introspection, relaxation, and peace. Discover the artist within! Bring a friend,

Doodles is the perfect space to create.

Space is limited for this rare opportunity to relax, paint, and learn from me in person.
