Melina’s work begins with a fascination for the natural world and the beauty in its unpredictability.

She creates original paintings and paper goods using wet-on-wet watercolor, a technique that allows pigment and water to flow freely across the page. As the paint moves and dries, it produces soft, naturally unrepeatable moments.

She sees her practice as an invitation to slow down and find joy in letting things unfold as they will.

She’s born, raised, and based Los Angeles.
