Melissa Gannon
Melissa enjoys painting nature. Her inspiration comes from travel, hiking, and exploring her local area. She works in watercolor, acrylic and oil. “There’s a fascinating complexity in the weeds overlooking the river or the interlacing branches of trees. Through layering of both color and texture I seek to show this in my pieces.”
Along with creating art, Melissa shares her skills and knowledge through classes and workshops in watercolor, acrylic and mixed media.

“Each painting is a journey of discovery. Influenced by the Impressionists, I love to explore layering and arranging colors into vibrant patterns of light and beauty that unfold onto the canvas and reflect the joy inherent in the world around us.
Nature is the primary model I paint from. I’m attracted to the shapes formed by light and shadow, the mosaic of sun-dappled leaves, or the visual delight of a meadow of wildflowers seen from a mountainside trail. I seek to share the wonder of these experiences in my work and bring a piece of nature’s bounty indoors for all to enjoy.”
