Melissa Showers was born in New York, where she discovered her love for tall stacks of xerox paper to draw on at the age of 3 years. Her mother Lynn and father Rafik always encouraged her creativity and satisfied her craving for art lessons starting at 6 years old. She studied fine art, graphic design and 3D animation at the Art Institute of Houston.
Currently, Melissa is staying creative and inspired raising her two sons and two step-children alongside her twin flame in The Woodlands, Texas. Melissa and her family love nature and are always looking forward to their next adventure in the Texas Hill Country. She enjoys her family and friends over some deep conversation by the firepit, or under the canopy on Matagorda beach.
The artist is the lead marketing director and graphic designer for a commercial real estate and private equity firm. To keep her sanity, Melissa spends at least 15 hours a week painting, illustrating, working commissions and designing digital art. Her subject matter generally deals with the feminine, and the juxtaposition between light and dark within. These works depict both the inner and outer conflicts society deals with on a daily basis. She is inspired by the dark and surreal thoughts of her mind as well as the mystical and magical light that shines bright in her soul. You can also visit her Instagram account @and_woman for more of her works.
