Hi, I'm Melynda Van Zee. I love to paint and I love to encourage creativity.
I started my art studio fifteen years ago, but I've been painting my entire life. My formal training in Art and Education helped me hold on to that love of painting and creativity, as I worked as an elementary school teacher, an art teacher, and a non-profit leader. The common thread that holds it all together is that I love to create and I love to help others bring more creativity into their life. I'm passionate about helping people to grow and develop creativity skills which lead to innovative futures, no matter their area of expertise.

Contemporary Acrylic Paintings
Melynda Van Zee creates art that expresses our journey to discovering our inner life. She uses line, movement, texture and color to convey the complexities and intricacies of our inner worlds. Spiraling or spherical shapes, symbolic of growth and transformation, are created with thick dimensional lines and multiple layers of translucent acrylic paints.

From sketches to flowing lines to layers and layers of translucent colors to final step applying of protective varnish, catch a glimpse of Melynda at work in the studio.
