Meet the Artist:
Hi I am Melissa or aka Missy to most. I have been around art my entire life. My mother is an exceptionally talented artist. From the minute I was born I think I've known art. Whether it be on TV, in person, or in print. I really began to start creating around age 5 when I got a lego bucket for Christmas. Old school legos weren't as fancy as they are now, but I still have that original set. I'd build puzzles and play with my legos for hours. Around age 9 I really started to draw and doodle. My mom knew it was time so she signed me up for Art lessons. Meanwhile, around age 10 I got in the kitchen as well and started helping cook and bake. My curiosity was endless. I was knowledge hungry and thankfully I was around wonderful teachers. All my middle and high school years I took every art, design, and drafting class I could. I LOVE ART! If there was an ADCD attention deficit crafting disorder I proudly have it😂 all of that to say that I have a lifetime of experience in many forms of art. Drawing, painting, jewelry, soaps and body products, candles, some weaving, embroidery and cross stitch, some crochet ( its a work in progress😬) floral arrangements, baking, cooking and preserving, quilting and sewing, etc. You get the picture. I mostly follow the muse wherever she takes me. I'd love to create something Toadally Awesome for you! ☺️✌️🐸
