Melissa, a 45-year-old artist from rural Missouri, is the owner of Tree Water Studio, with over 25 years of experience in computer support, web development, and graphic design. Her lifelong passion for art began in grade school and has guided her through challenges such as untreated ADHD, dyslexia, and dyscalculia. Despite facing chronic neck pain from cervical stenosis and life’s obstacles that p
revented her from completing a formal degree, she has pursued a Bachelor of Science in Art multiple times. Her skills are a unique blend of academic training and self-directed learning through online tutorials and extensive practice. Combining her professional expertise and artistic talents, Melissa collaborates with B2B and small businesses. She currently works as a Social Media Manager, Web Developer, and Graphic Designer at Copeland Alternator Starter (2004-present) and as the Co-Owner, Social Media Manager, and Graphic Designer at Wagbit LLC (2019-present). Her journey, now centered around Tree Water Studio, reflects the power of perseverance, creativity, and the healing potential of art.
