Melissa Broadwell is a spiritual medium abstract expressionist that interprets energy by painting the feeling. She was was born in Joplin, Missouri in 1966. Her artistic journey began later in life in 2021, a revelation that unfolded against the backdrop of her years spent in supportive roles. Her passion for painting emerged unexpectedly.

It all started as an experiment—an exploration of digital painting software. Melissa’s loving engineer husband observed her blending techniques and recognized their affinity with oil painting. Inspired by this revelation, he sent a package of art supplies to their home. The brushes felt familiar in her hands, texture creation and blending flowed naturally.

Oil became Melissa’s chosen medium, surpassing all others she eventually tried. But her process defies convention. Unlike artists who envision a clear image before they begin, Melissa begins each canvas without preconceptions. She follows an intuitive flow light and what she feels in a meditative connectivity state. Sometimes not always, Mid-painting, something stirs—a hint of an animal, a fragment of a landscape. She amplifies these glimpses, allowing them to shape her work.

Her paintings often explore the balances of energies and healing light in existence. Abstraction feels like home to Melissa, it’s where her creativity thrives. As a high-functioning autistic artist, she has a unique perspective that infuses her art with authenticity and depth amid the rawness that is hard to come by in the art world.

Through it all, Melissa remains profoundly grateful—to her husband, who recognized her latent talent, her family, friends and to everyone that has interacted with her art and to the divine force that fuels her creative spirit. Her paintings have now been exhibited several times internationally in Egypt. She has exhibited in Finland in August of 2024 with artists exhibiting from all over Europe.
