About Melissa May

I’m a painter and creative professional based in New Brunswick, Canada, with a deep love for nature.

My studio, surrounded by trees, wildflowers, and native wildlife, is a calm yet energizing space where creativity thrives.

With a deep love for beauty, I create vivid, expressive works that inspire joy and connection, celebrating the spirited hearts who long to live life fully.

Behind the Brush

Working primarily in acrylics, I specialize in realism with a focus on wildlife and nature, while also exploring contemporary elements that bring fresh perspective and emotional depth to my subjects.

My paintings begin with the eyes—capturing the soul of each subject and creating an emotional bridge between human and animal. With every carefully placed brushstroke, I aim to evoke a sense of connection, reverence, and presence.

 My work is constantly evolving as I continue to explore new techniques that bring my subjects to life. My art is a celebration of the wild, a call to protect it, and a tribute to the beauty that exists when we slow down and truly see.

A Note of Gratitude

Thank you—truly—for being here.

Your support has played a meaningful role in turning my lifelong dream of becoming a professional artist into a reality. Whether you’ve welcomed my work into your home, followed along with my creative process, or simply shared words of encouragement, I’m deeply grateful.

It’s an honour to create art that resonates with others. Your presence and connection bring purpose to my practice, and your light adds something truly special to this world.

Thank you for being part of the journey.
