About Melanie
In 2021, Melanie was a top 10 finalist in Park West Gallery’s ‘Made in Vegas’ competition and has since joined the Park West Family. The first showing of her work on New Years Eve, resulted in a phenomenal sold out show and record breaking print sales. In addition to her blossoming Fine Art career with Park West Galleries, Melanie is also represented by Suzanne Cruise Creative Services, Inc. for her wonderful illustration and surface pattern design work. And because she’s a total overachiever, she also runs a successful 3D street painting company where she gets to hire amazingly talented women to paint with her – One of her favorite projects was designing and painting the ceiling of the new Caesar’s Palace Grand Entrance. She is truly a creative powerhouse.
In 2012, Melanie and her husband, Remco, founded We Talk Chalk, a 3D street painting and mural company. As Creative Director, Melanie designs and overseas every project her and her team produces. She has painted in events all over the world and has curated 3D street painting exhibitions in Thailand, Colombia, Israel and throughout the U.S.
