Art For Every Palette
It has been way too long since I updated everyone It has been way too long since I updated everyone on all that is going on in my world. I've been busy creating a new path for my life, putting my dreams out into the universe and working towards true happiness. For months, I have been putting my all into creating a better life and a better me. My first steps were to healing the holes in my heart so that I can take deep breaths of faith and fall into that creative dreamer I used to be. To heal, I really had to listen to what my heart needed and desired. Digging deep to find that happiness within me went way back to when I was little and to early adulthood, when I was creating was when I was the happiest. That happiness fills my soul with the greatest feeling of wholeness, a soft place for my heart to land. I lost that in all of the noise, social pressures and other people's opinions and problems. There have been a lot of bumps in the road and then the road crumbled underneath me but it just made me want to pave a stronger future, one that I am going to go full speed ahead on. I had to grieve the people who were only in my life for a season and fall in love with my life again. My goal has been to tap into that happy place in my heart and doing all things towards what is meant for me in this life. It may not have happened like I had planned but it was Gods plan and I trust that with all my heart. We all have a purpose and my purpose is to create. Creating paves the way to true happiness in every aspect of my life. Beautiful things have unfolded this year and I can't wait for more. I wish the same for you! Thank you for following along on my journey, I’ll be sharing it all with you soon. #art #interiordesignideas #instaart #abstractart #creativelife #artwork #color #passionforart #melissapaynebakerart #love #followme #entrepreneur #girlboss #artist #acrylicpainting #oilpainting #design #artforyourhome #abstractartlover #artlover #discipline #artwithstyleInteriorDesignAtlanta #LuxeAtHome #InteriorDesignInspiration #InteriorDesignLovers #DecorLovers #InstaInteriors #imagination #atlantaartist
It has been 10 years since @modernluxury Atlanta, It has been 10 years since @modernluxury Atlanta, and @theatlantan magazine featured my son, Payne, and I in an article called “Creative Class”. The article featured my mommy must haves. With so much that has changed in 10 years, some things stayed the same, especially my love for my son and my career. Being an entrepreneur has allowed me to be the best mom that I can be. They say kids grow up fast, they really do. It seems like yesterday this article was published. 10 years later here we are again! The antique school desk and chair look a bit smaller these days. What a blessing to watch Payne grow, and for me to grow stronger as a mom, person an artist. Thank you so much for having us back on the pages of The Atlantan magazine. We are out here still painting the town!
Thank you to everyone who came out to my art shows Thank you to everyone who came out to my art shows the past couple of weeks. Atlanta and Nashville friends and clients are amazing and I love catching up with everyone. It’s a great way to kick off the holiday show season. Stay tuned for more, coming in December.
36” x 36”, mixed media on canvas, “Fearless”. Just wanted to tell you that you are so creative! Everyone has creativity and I hear the opposite from people all the time. Creativity is a process and you have to tap into it just like you do your happiness. One of my little secrets to getting in the mood in the studio is to use my imagination more in everything I do in life. Often, I have to dig deep and tap into the desire to create. The only way to do that is to let all of my worries wash off of me and think of that little girl who was carefree and had all day to just create in a playful way. This is creative meditation. It kills me when my ten year old son says he is bored. When he says this, I tell him to use his imagination, go outside or grab a piece of paper and a pencil to draw or write. Every time he does, he gets quiet and the transformation in his attitude and confidence is amazing. His drawings are pretty amazing too. Try it right now, turn off electronics, go on a walk, just sit and close your eyes or grab a piece of paper and pencil. Tap into that feeling of being a kid again or that time you created something you were proud of, dreaming and using your imagination with no worries of this crazy world attached to your thoughts. It is amazing. You have to create the space to create creativity. Use your imagination today.
36” x 36”, mixed media on canvas, “Peaceful”. Peaceful means free from disturbance, not involving war, tranquil. Don’t know about you but lately that has been my number one goal, to be peaceful. Having a peaceful heart and soul. It’s a beautiful thing. I hope you have a very peaceful weekend friends!
It is an honor to be asked by Northwest Mississipp It is an honor to be asked by Northwest Mississippi College to fill the walls of their fine art gallery for a month long exhibit. Starting Northwest at just 17 years old, the education I received as a business student was the perfect first step that led me to The University of Mississippi where I earned a degree in marketing. My show entitled “Art for Every Palette” will be on display at the college the month of October. For all of the wonderful opportunities that Northwest provided, I feel a deep sense of gratitude, it is such an honor to be back in my home state of Mississippi for this very special exhibit. Opening Reception, Thursday, October 6, 2022, 5:00 - 7:00PM, Northwest Art Gallery, 100 Porter Street, Senatobia, Mississippi The show will open to the public on Monday, October 3. The exhibition will remain on display through Friday, November 11. Northwest Art Gallery hours are Monday - Thursday from 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM and Fridays from 8:00 AM - noon.
