Thank you for taking time to stop my website. I started this site in 2014 when returning to the east coast after a brief time on the west coast. Now that I’ve settled in and have established myself in the community I realize how much goes into the daily tasks of running a small business aka working artist. Teaching is a huge part of my life. I pick up workshops and classes as they fit my schedule as a painter and a mother. I am adding this donation space for anyone who would like to contribute to my art tool box. This will cover the cost of planning and running my independent classes and workshops. It will help with gas and supplies for my travels and ongoing creative projects. Thank you! love, Melanie 🧡
