Melanie’s journey into the world of epoxy art began as a personal exploration. Initially drawn to the medium for its glossy finish and vibrant potential, she quickly recognized the endless possibilities it offered. By combining epoxy with acrylic paints and alcohol inks, she creates striking compositions that burst with color and depth. Her meticulous layering technique adds dimension, making her pieces come alive with movement and light. Each artwork is a reflection of her artistic vision, where bold hues and fluid designs blend harmoniously.
Her work embodies a mid-century modern feel, characterized by clean lines and organic forms. This style not only appeals to art lovers but also fits seamlessly into contemporary homes and offices.

The interplay of vibrant colors and elegant shapes gives her work a timeless quality, making it appealing to a broad audience.
Recognizing the need for art that caters to a wider demographic, Melanie has intentionally created pieces that resonate with both women and men. Together with her husband, she has curated a collection that strikes a balance between traditionally feminine aesthetics and more masculine designs, making her art perfect for man caves, offices, or any space that seeks a unique flair. This thoughtful approach not only broadens her audience but also fosters an inclusive environment where everyone can appreciate and connect with her creations.
