About Melissa Jean

Melissa’s work transports the viewer to the lake on a warm summer’s evening, canoeing on calm waters, or dancing in the rain…. from walking along the beach and skipping stones, to the warmth of a campfire on a starry night. 

Memories and magic moments are captured forever in textured paint and vivid colour on canvas. 

Based in the Lake of the Woods Region of Northwestern Ontario, Melissa paints on location throughout the area, and in her studio (located on the river, in Keewatin, Ontario).To visit her studio, contact Melissa.
