Melinda I am so floored by these beautiful drawings. They make my mind race and my mouth turns up at the corners when I look at them. They also make me feel very calm. Everything seems okay when I look at them. Thank you.

I'm so impressed with your work, Melinda! I especially love the drawing of the highway and the billboard. I wished at that moment that I was actually driving down that highway! I'll visit your website often. Miss you!

Melinda,
I so enjoyed browsing through your work. I have many favorites, but especially like "You smell like sorrow", the blonde girl with her hair blowing, the coat with burn marks, and the mouse skirt. I'll be back.

I love your work, for the specificity and the mystery. The piece with van,chair & ice-chest is especially evocative for me.

Melinda. I sent an e-mail before when I first got the website because I didn't see the comments place. Tiny is profound. Also love the campsite with the Marcus-like cooler--like a memory of a dream of something familiar. And I got my first Whitney newsletter, and see that there is a new exhibition on Nov. 10--I think it is new, anyway.

Hi Melinda,
Had heard about the Art+o+mat and saw the one at SPACE during Art Around Town in Portland,ME. I was immediately drawn to your piece, and chose it out of the selection. What a treat! Love it! Thank you!
