Melissa Smith's Artist Portfolio
Welcome to Melissa Smith's Portfolio.
Melissa Smith is a self-taught artist who specializes in landscapes. Raised in the beautiful countryside of Upstate New York, Melissa enjoyed drawing and painting early on and nurtured an ever-growing interest in the arts. Since moving to Texas in 2002, she has focused increasingly on creating paintings exploring the beauty of nature with an emphasis on the seasons she misses at home.

Serene soothing colors and almost fortuitous brush strokes often combined with bold textural elements achieved with palette knife, reveal a longing to be in the painting, in this amazing place and in the moment; a tranquil state of mind.
"There is so much beauty in life; I cherish the time I can spend in the serenity of capturing specific elements of this wondrous world around us."
