Julie Melillo Fifteen of my paintings were recently shown at the Chyro Arts Venue in Scottdale, Arizona. Some of these works are available for sale on this website.

I have been drawing and painting since I was a child. I love the feeling of putting paint on a canvas. Usually, I don't plan my paintings and spontaneously allow whatever wants to be, to be.

My parents and art teachers encouraged me to continue painting and drawing throughout my school years. I took many classes during high school and was a studio art major at The University of Arizona for a semester. I studied drawing, painting and many mediums.

I like paintings that are simple and express a pure emotion. Creativity, inspiration and emotion interest me.
