Melanie’s environment, the mountains of Colorado and California, the exciting colors and shapes of the southwest, and the beautiful summer music in the mountains and concerts in the Los Angeles area, have a profound influence on her work. She is constantly searching to uncover the layers of color, shapes, and movement within each of her pieces.
