Melissa Carrelli received her BFA
from Western Kentucky University.

After taking a long break from visual arts, she has returned to her love of Painting. Creating colorful works of different styles, she has found her greatest joy comes from painting animals and people's beloved pets.

Her subject matter isn't just limited to our furry friends, she will also paint birds and reptiles; however, she can't look at a picture of a Tarantula long enough to paint it... she has her limits.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING!

Her painting is so realistic I truly thought that Zia was going to turn and lick me.

It has made her passing more bearable now that I have this marvelous painting of her hanging in my home to look at every day.

I purchased a silent auction portrait at an SPCA event and I was overwhelmed,

Melissa captured every detail of my dog's true personality. Just beautiful - thank you!

Melissa was professional throughout the process.

The results were marvelous. My wife cried tears of joy when she opened it.

Melissa has a unique style that captures your pets personality perfectly. We love her painting of our dog, Danke.
