About

Hi everyone, thanks for visiting this page.  I always look for the “about me” section of a website because I’m always curious to know more about the person who created the site. I am so grateful that you stopped by to learn more about me and my creations.

I´m Melissa, an artist, sewist, and creative with a background in interior design.  I live in Valencia, Spain with my family and our dog, Sami.  I love all things color, pattern and traveling.

Change + New Places = Growth

Time flies when you are having fun, or so they say.  Two years have passed since my family moved to Valencia, Spain and  I am happy to report that we are now settled in and Spain is starting to feel more and more like "home."   My passion continues to be finding, creating, and sharing beauty.  

Design + Art = Happy

Since moving to Spain, I have refocused and pivoted to various creative outlets.  What I have found is endless amounts of creative inspiration walking through the streets of this city and other parts of Europe. 

I have been taking oil painting and drawing classes now for over a year and have allowed my art practice to grow.  While I am still embroidering and sewing, I find myself drawn to mixed media and painting as other forms of expression. 

I also have a dedicated sewing space at a local co-working studio and enjoy being able to make it over there weekly to sew bags and continue to hone my sewing skills.

Come Back Soon!

This website is a place to weave together my love of art and design, and share pieces of daily life here in Valencia, as well as information and cool things we see and do along the way.  So come back often to see what’s new.
