MAKE Fine Art with Melanie Stuart Designs | Episode 11
Hey, "Sweet Pea!"  I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Melanie's work will make you fall in love with florals.  This fine artist is as insightful about business and life as she is talented.  We chat about her stunning "loose" floral art, how she used to dislike painting (say what?!), the perks of having a specific niche, imposter syndrome, and how to pronounce fancy art words like giclee (go ahead, try it).  She even shows me her unusually long tongue.
