Melinda Arthur's Bio
Melinda Arthur has enjoyed art and creating since she was 8 years old. That drive eventually landed her at Radford University, achieving both Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Fine Arts with a BFA in Painting and Printmaking, 1981 and MFA in Ceramics, 1986.) After a long career as a potter, she rediscovered her passion for oil painting in 2010. She also loves animals and the outdoors. Her work as an artist reflects that love, from family pets to North American wildlife. Melinda paints Pet Portraits in oils working from owner provided photos. But she goes further than copying. She strives to capture the essence, the personality, the eyes of our furry children.
Melinda has found a way to combine her 3 largest passions: animals and painting come first and second. The third is aiding cancer survivors and patients through 24 Foundation in Charlotte NC in association with LiveSTRONG. 10% of the price of every portrait is donated to the 24 Foundation to aid people dealing with the day-to-day difficulties of living with cancer.
