Melissa Gannon

Melissa’s work is a journey of discovery, exploring colors by layering and arranging them into vibrant patterns. Nature is the primary model she paints from. She’s attracted to the shapes formed by light and shadow, the mosaic of sun-dappled leaves, or the visual delight of a meadow of wildflowers seen from a mountainside trail. Her paintings seek to share the wonder of the natural world and bring a piece of nature’s bounty indoors for all to enjoy. 

As a teacher, Melissa’s goal is to instruct, motivate and inspire participants in a comfortable, creative environment. She currently teaches watercolor classes at Brush and Palette and Oregon City Pioneer Center.
