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.
