Melissa McKinnon, Canadian Contemporary Artist

Every corner of this online space was made with you in mind – to see, feel and experience
life’s moments made beautiful from my brush to your eyes.

Vivid. Textured. Layered.

Hi! I’m Melissa.

Welcome to my studio

I’m Melissa McKinnon, a Canadian contemporary artist and author of Textured Art. From my Calgary studio and gallery, I explore colour, texture and the possibilities of paint through contemporary landscape and abstract art.

My practice is rooted in curiosity: layering materials, following unexpected marks and finding new ways to bring energy and feeling to a painting. Explore my available original paintings, or get in touch to arrange a studio visit.

 

"Wow! Our new painting looks amazing.

The colours & textures bring it all to life for us. Excited beyond belief.” Neil & Rachel, Australia

"We are loving our two gorgeous original paintings.

It’s great to look at them while the light changes, bringing out the colors differently & enhancing the textures!” Rachelle, Canada

"Melissa is fantastic to deal with

and she clearly takes immense pride in the quality of her work as well as the nature of her interactions with potential and existing collectors.” Chris, Canada
