About us
I'm Melanie , an acrylic painter and art instructor from Middle Tennessee. I got into teaching because I know firsthand how powerful it is when someone finally gives themselves permission to create!
Since 2014, I've had the privilege of watching that moment happen again and again — the look on someone's face when a painting comes together, when they surprise themselves, when they realize they are creative after all. That moment never gets old. It's why I do what I do.
If you're ready to experience it for yourself, I'd love to have you. Follow along on Facebook for weekly painting tips, tutorials, and inspiration — or join Hometown Creatives and become part of a community that makes creativity a little less lonely.
