Melinda Hipsher

From an early age, I felt compelled to draw and paint, often with encouragement of my teachers and family. As I grew up into a practical young woman, I began to think that painting was something one did for enjoyment, not as a serious career. My head told me to be practical, but my heart told me another story.

My art captures moments that I see in nature and the moments from holidays and celebrations. I have worked in the graphic arts department in the printing industry and have been involved with many different print materials. I have worked with watercolor and also enjoy painting on wood with acrylic paints. I can paint realistic beautiful images or can illustrate a moment from my imagination.
