Behind The Scenes

Journey with me into my magical world, from sketch to creation and all the inspiration in between…

Today is dedicated to magical portals I’ve stumbled across in my meanderings through the labyrinthine streets of Barcelona 🌿❤️

This little slice of magic is the cloak I have wrapped myself in for the last 10 days. An ombré of sensational colour and texture, form and function. Never have I imagined such beauty. Inspiration. And now a bridge back to my personal fountain of energy and ideas, free flowing once again💫🌿🦋

Nurturing the precious Muse: it’s been about 2 m

Nurturing the precious Muse: it’s been about 2 months of honouring the dark space. A place where My Muse has been living and breathing, tenderly and quietly, for the past two months. The push to run a sale while single handedly closing my gallery, and moving to a home based business took a heavy toll on my mental and physical health.
I write this post with tears of joy welling up in my eyes, because for the first time in my adult life I have put myself first and honoured this metamorphosis 🦋💫of change with the need to self-nurture and create a solid foundation of healthy habits. Because without that, the beautiful lens in which I see the world around me, and My Muse, go into the deepest, darkest slumber. Otherwise known as burnout and complete fatigue.
🌿This trip to Barcelona has been a dream in the making for over a decade. From a time when I felt the burden of responsibilities to raise my daughter while carving out a life built on fiery passion. 🔥At that time, throughout my best efforts, I was only able to put food on the table. Now ten years later, I have actualized a dream.

🌿So, here I lounge today, bathed in bands of sunlight, in the 300 yr old Arai Aparthotel in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, with a full cup of inspiration after spending a week absorbing the art of Modernism. My pencil is in free flow once again.

🌿Thank you, my dear clients and followers, for your patience with the space I have taken, to return to myself. I am so very excited to see what unfolds through the pages of my sketch book!!

With love, wonderment, and curiosity
Melissa 🙏🏻❤️

🙏🏻 Thank you @florjacobs for capturing me in my little nest of a gallery before I closed my doors. This was my cathedral. A place of freedom, growth, challenge, learning, and connection to so many people through the three years I held space, for myself and others. 🌿💕❤️
Flor, your eye for artistry, colour, composition is 👌🏻💕. What a pleasure to have met you!!

Bathing in a rainbow of light at the Sagrada Famil

Bathing in a rainbow of light at the Sagrada Familia today. Words can not describe the awesome beauty of this church designed by Gaudi. Construction began 130 yrs ago. It’s destined to be finished by 2026. I am humbled.

This wee menagerie is a tiny recap of my 6 hour hi

This wee menagerie is a tiny recap of my 6 hour hike through Barcelona today. So many architectural details that captured me today along my walk from Casa Battló to Parc Guell, both Gaudi’s fascinating creations. They’re like walking through a dream. I only wish I started earlier so I could get better shots minus the hoards upon hoards of tourists…now I know to set my alarm and get to my next destination, The Sagrada Familia, as soon as it opens!
At some point I’m going to settle for a day, sort through my photos and start drafting up my next newsletter that will dive deeper into my Barcelona discoveries 💫
The very last shot, my first sketch since traveling, is definitely inspired by Gaudi!! 🐙🌊🐚🐢

I have been stumbling through Barcelona on an intoxicating cocktail of jet lag and thirst…driven to chase the light and absorb as much beauty as I can….it’s everywhere! Surrounded by architecture from the late 19th and 20th century, I feel like I’m exactly where I should be, in awe of the beauty that surrounds me!
I have been brought to tears numerous times already by this magical place.
Keep an eye on my stories as I take you with me through the streets of the Gothic Quarter, so you can experience this magnificence with me❤️💫
(Tomorrow I have a date with my sketchbook to begin putting words and drawings to my visual and tactile and auditory experience…)

Last week I did a quick run down to the beach with my clients’ pieces so I could capture and bathe them in some ocean spray ❤️💦

After purchasing her favourite pendant from me 20

After purchasing her favourite pendant from me 20 yrs ago at a market on Saltspring, my client stumbled upon my gallery in Vancouver. She had been patiently dreaming of these stud earrings, a match to her pendant, to be created and complete her set!

Crafted with love in 18k gold with star rubies ❤️
Thank you, Wilma, an absolute pleasure!

For the love of ART💫
The Shakti Pendant was a design that sprouted and took roots in my imagination one sleepy morning. I had the burning desire to create something magnificent, grandiose, and sensual. A design created for the sole purpose of collaborating with other artists for an epic photography session. She was not for sale yet sold within a few weeks of her birth into the world. Long enough to be the star in a few photo shoots and videos shoots, which makes my heart swell!
🌷🕊️
This year I’ll be creating more of these two inch stunners. If you’re desiring a statement piece to join you on your life journey, or are in the industry and would like to collaborate to create art SO much bigger than ourselves, shoot me a DM…and let’s play!!! ❤️💫
