This expressive contemporary colorist art is a product of my own vision and imagination. Visit my artist owned and operated Handmade Shop for affordable original jewelry, handmade in classic, geek, and goth jewelry styles. Shop original paintings and signed colorist art prints, made with the vision I keep before me – all for sale by artist. Melasdesign full spectrum art ranges from boldly expressive illustration to vibrant abstract art, drawing inspiration from meditation and dreams. It’s visionary. Off-site, shop Melasdesign art prints, home decor, and fashion with abstract, surface designer patterns, and colorist sensibilities.

By popular demand, Melasdesign now offers custom pet portraits in oil pastels on paper in a free and easy style. 50% of proceeds will benefit Animal Friends of Doggy Sods in Davis, WV.
This service grew out of Doggy Sods’ “Silly Pet Portrait” fundraiser. My portraits are not *quite* so silly, but are still an artsy, fun way to benefit their great cause.
