Melaney’s artistic background goes far back into her youth. Her father is a house-painting contractor who would often take her along teaching her tricks of the trade, such as wallpaper hanging and skillfully painting and caulking the trim. He also encouraged her greatly as a young child to be a creative individual.

 Melaney began studies at the Atlanta Institute of Art in 1986 and graduated in 1988 with a Bachelors degree. At which time she also married and began a new life living in Atlanta, Ga.

In the mid 90's Melaney began her first business called Count Your Blessings, Inc. making ornaments that were sold through out the U S to Christmas year-round store. On December 9, 1996 Melaney made the front page of  Marietta Daily Journal selling her ornaments.

 Melaney's mural painting career began in 1998 when she decided to paint a mural on her daughter’s new bedroom wall, and one for her newborn nursery. While spending time at home with her newborn Melaney worked on church projects, and continued to paint walls for friends. After receiving complements for her painting efforts she decided to start her own business.

Melaney's Murals are receiving recognition by other muralist throughout the south and beyond.

 Melaney is very concerned about pleasing her customers and desires to complete each job in a professional manner.  It is this determination that keeps her clients coming back again and again. She also supplies each of her clients with ample reference material and a complete black and white sketch of the mural. Melaney believes in up front pricing. Making sure you know how much it will cost to have your mural painted before the process actually begins, allows Melaney to feel confident that she can take her time and do a good job. She does not charge a running fee for each day she works unless additional changes are made during the course of painting.
