original artwork gallery - Melody Long

Welcome to my artwork gallery. I am a mixed media artist creating highly textured paintings on canvas that are both visual and tactile. My favorite materials include acid free papers, sawdust, acrylic paint, and light reflecting elements. All of my original art pieces online include free shipping. Don't miss the close-up pictures for each painting to see the intricate texture, as you'll find that many of my works are part sculpture. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

As an artist, I find beauty in the imperfections inherent in the creative process. There's a certain excitement in the unpredictability of art-making, where each stroke of the brush or layering of different mediums brings forth a new challenge, a new emotion. I am at my happiest when I am immersed in this roller coaster journey, oscillating between confidence and uncertainty, knowing that in the end, it all converges into a harmonious whole.

As a mixed media artist, I am drawn to the tactile nature of art, where texture invites exploration and evokes a visceral response. I build each design by hand, incorporating richly textured elements that give depth and dimension, then bring the piece to life with acrylics and a modern rustic style. I enjoy the freedom of exploring various materials, blending colors in a balance that pleases the eye, and incorporating shimmer and shine to capture the light.

My artworks are a culmination of every creative technique I've learned throughout my life. I hope this journey to be my grand finale, a celebration of embracing imperfections, cherishing the process, and leaving behind a legacy of boundless creativity.
