More about me:

Melia initiated her artistic activity at a very young age. A Tampa native, Melia moved to Greenville, SC, studied under several artists, and worked in the artistic community before returning to call Tampa home. Inspired by both classic and modern painters like Caravaggio, Egon Schiele and Warhol, she captures the ambiguity of life with passion as shae exuberantly fills the canvas with rhythmic brush strokes, giving a sensuous quality to the paintings. The style is unique and painterly, loose and edgy.

Though they are painted in semi-abstract style, the subject in a composition is always real; Ordinary characters that represent life’s ardor – a starry-eyed moment, a stolen glance, a desolate walk on the edge. Her work is simple, expressive, passionate, and it always presents a positive point of view.


Melia has been selling paintings to enthusiastic collectors from South Carolina to Florida. Her works are included in many notable private and corporate collections.
