I officially started MELBECK STUDIO in 2005 in Tucson and started transitioning to the Northwest in 2012. This gave me a fresh perspective on my life and on my work. I traded cactus and desert for trees and water. As of late 2021- back in Tucson!
Wilde Meyer Gallery in Tucson and Scottsdale has represented my work for the past 15 years. Please visit!

My art career began as a watercolorist in the 1980s. I was represented by the oldest gallery in Arizona at the time. Over the next two decades of owning an art gallery and raising two sons, I slowly gravitated back to crafts, on to acrylics, and beyond. I consider myself a mixed-media artist.

I have focused on painted floor art and reverse glass paintings for the past 25 years. Lately, I have ventured into designing fabric based on my designs and images. I am sewing all sorts of fun things with my art on the fabrics! I do have a Spoonflower shop where you can purchase by the yard!
My subject matter centers around the desert Southwest and other places I travel, my home, my obsessions, family, friends, and animals!
I sell my work in galleries, juried art shows, and in my online store. I work with several non-profits using my art to benefit their worthy causes. I am so grateful to do what I love! As always, I am happy
