Melanie was born and raised on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, hailing from Willis Wharf. Her deep Eastern Shore roots run all the way to Hog Island, one of the Shore’s barrier islands.

Melanie has been drawing and painting since she was a young child. In 2014, she began sharing her art and forging her path as a growing artist. Melanie explored with many different mediums in her artisanal journey, eventually challenging herself with pyrography, also known as wood burning. She was drawn to this unique form of art and has enjoyed creating many Eastern Shore inspired pieces over the years. To see more of Melanie’s work, visit https://mwidgeonlewisartist.com/.
