Melinda McLeod Watercolor Greeting Cards (blank inside), varied
"I am an artist who enjoys recreating intimate scenes of the outdoors,
often highlighting flora and fauna. Surely, my love of the outdoors
was fostered by growing up in Vermont, just south of the Canadian
border. Today I live in the Pacific NW and continue to be fed by the
beauty of my home.
Since I love exploring and experimentation, over the years, I have
worked in over 30 mediums. Currently, I primarily work in watercolor,
and I enjoy occasionally venturing towards abstraction; especially as
I experiment with wet-on-wet techniques. I also dabble in alcohol inks,
which I’m drawn to because there are elements of unpredictability and
improvisation, which speaks to my tendency towards worrying –
serving as a reminder that the unfolding of art can be a playful
meditation.
I welcome you to be drawn in as you are reminded of the serenity, joy
and beauty of our natural world. I hope that you enjoy my art, and it
brings you as much delight as it brings me."
