About Melinda

I strive to add beauty to the world through my art. I hope to share a sense of serenity and tenderness in my images. I am inspired by the graceful, sculptural shapes and colors of the natural world - fruit, vegetables, flowers, trees, and stones. I also am moved by the beauty of everyday objects that enrich our lives, like bowls, textiles, shoes, and tools for cooking. Sacred imagery has influenced me throughout my life: icons, paintings and sculptures that can become portals to the deepest truths of human experience.
