MY PHILOSOPHY:
Studio Mela believes that art prints should be special. That is why we have NO runs over 350! My Special Limited Editions are printed 100 times or less and I stand by that! There are no surprise prints popping up after the limited number has sold out.
You can feel great about your purchase knowing it is not a mass produced piece. Each print here is meaningful and truly special...and we love that!
And What exactly is a Mini print? Mini Prints are open editions of sold out 8x10's. They run for awhile after the original and 8x10's have sold out. They are signed (not numbered) and are a mini 5x7 inches or smaller.
•The only Open Edition prints we have are for charity & mini prints.
•8x10 images and/or prints are on paper that is a bit bigger to allow for proper framing and matting.
A little Bio:
I'm a girl with a huge heart.
I am sporadic & indecisive by nature and am often changing direction at a moments notice.
I live in a very cold place called Minnesota.
(but, I swear I belong in California!)
Mela, as in "Studio Mela", means apple in Italian.
I laugh...ALOT.
I'm happiest when painting.
I don't eat meat.
I smile way more than I cry.
I have a Mom that is an amazing artist.
I ache to be liked by everyone I meet.
I love the feeling of holding a brand new sketch pad and the wonderment of whats to come.
I hate large crowds.
I love my husband and little baby boy more than I thought I could love anyone.
I'm silly and loud but can be quiet and shy a moment later.
I paint things that inspire me.
If you asked me if your hair looked funny...I would tell you the truth. Because I would want you to tell me if I had a piece of hair sticking straight in the air...or a pepper flake stuck to my tooth.
The one art tool I could not, repeat, NOT, live without is the Pilot G-2 05 Pen. It's literally like a 2.00 pen and I adore every ounce of it!
I am a firm believer in affordable art and believe that every single person should have one piece in their house that makes them smile.
I'm a new artist to canvas, but have been doing graphic design forever.
I'm self taught and proud of it.
I used to make websites. And now, there is not enough time in the day!
I love quotes and smack them on anything I can.
My work oozes with words and text...fonts and scribbles. I just love words.
Im inspired by songs.
I can kick anyones butt in poker.
I get very excited about handbags. It is the one thing I would spend zillions of dollars on and not care. Needless to say...my husband adores this quality the most.
But... most importantly, I live to love.
