Meet Melinda<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you moving your furniture around again?!\u201d<\/em> my mother regularly hollered up the stairs at me, her 8-year-old daughter and budding designer \/ decorator.  <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I needed my bedroom to be fresh and beautiful with flow and balance.  It was no surprise to anyone that I developed a passion early on for all things related to art and design.  Luckily, my talent was confirmed by a cherished art teacher who encouraged me into \u2018Art for the Gifted\u2019. I flourished and wound up at the top of my secondary school\u2019s \u201cInterior Decorating and Design\u201d program, which also justified the ongoing \u2018renovations\u2019 that I inflicted upon my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a university degree in sociology and a college diploma in television production, both of which gave me valuable insights into the psychology and diversity of design, I utilized my talent for interior decoration as the colour consultant for a busy paint and wallpaper store.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

I loved my job but the birth of my daughter was the creative motivation I needed to pursue a life as an artist.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I was commissioned to design and paint a wall mural and I began a series of painted canvases. I started exhibiting and selling my work in Hamilton in the early 2000\u2019s. As my children progressed through elementary school, I became increasingly disheartened by the lack of funding allotted to visual arts programming.  Through the Art Gallery of Hamilton, I quickly learned some teaching fundamentals and embarked on a whole new (interim) career: volunteer art teacher!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I knew that my talent and passion had to have greater outreach.  So I started bringing people\u2019s dreams to reality through custom interior designs.  That was over ten years ago and I\u2019ve been doing it, and loving it, ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In snippets of spare time, I continue with my visual art.  It revitalizes and inspires me.  I also refinish and repurpose second hand furniture into distinctive, functional pieces of art. So, basically, I\u2019m still moving my furniture around!<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
