Hello Friend & Welcome!
I'm so happy you're here! I'm Melanie, a photographer and mixed media artist. It is my passion and joy to help you discover, dream, and flourish in your authenticity and joy as an artist.
I believe our creative path is a sacred one, a gift, an invitation to embrace something fundamental within. Creativity opens our souls to honor and delight in the art that is longing for discovery and expression. It truly is a gift and a blessing to cultivate these whispers and experience the healing and joy that they offer along the way.
What's your Artistic Personality?
Embracing your creativity is a beautiful gift that you give yourself. To help you discover and nurture those parts of yourself that are creative and sacred, I have created a fun little quiz.
I have found creativity is so good for our healing, our peace, and our joy. The creative journey is a beautiful one that can last a lifetime. It is my honor to come alongside you and share in the beauty of creating.
After you take the quiz, you'll receive your results immediately. I also send a free printable version to your inbox. If you'd like, come share them in my Facebook Group - Melanie Fagan Creative.
We'd love to have you join in the fun.
Creative Inspiration, Renewal, & Joy...
A little about my creative process...
Photography is my first creative love language.
It inspires me and offers the most amazing experiences and moments, as well as subjects and stories.
When I share my photographs, it is an invitation for you to share that experience with me.
I want to you feel as if you are there in that moment
when the bee passes by the lavender.
What if I, or we, could then do more with these experiences and images? I found myself wanting to get my hands into paint and plaster, and color. I love the softness of pastels and the fragrance of encaustic medium literally relaxes me.
For this reason, I love mixed media art.
It opens the doors to the use of various mediums inviting intuition, and the use of my photographs,
to influence my creativity.
I also incorporate both into my sacred & soulful journaling.
It is where I spend time renewing my mind, praising, praying, and playing with art supplies. My journals are filled with more than words, pictures, and art supplies. They also hold the precious gift of the time I spend within their pages,
as well as the healing and growth they nurture.
It is because of this merging process that I've found more purpose and meaning in my creativity. One feeds the other and they honestly have transformed my life and infused it with more faith, more passion, more joy, and more beauty.
