Melanie Myhre (Painter)

I am a full-time professional artist working in acrylic medium and I am self-taught. I paint dreamlike and sometimes surreal scenes from my memories, dreams and places I’ve visited. I do not use reference photos, but instead, enter a ‘flow state’ allowing the images to emerge on my canvas.

I grew up in Minnesota, but West Virginia has been my home for the past three years. I’m a nature girl, so WV is full of inspiration for me.

I maintain a busy gallery show schedule throughout the year. I am a juried Tamarack artist in two mediums (painting and photography) and show there regularly. My work has also been exhibited at Bloomfield Richwood and the WV Culture Museum. I am also represented by PAC Market and Huntington Museum of Art gift shop.
