Melissa Vandiver is our 5th guest on the show! It's always a delight to speak to our local artist from New Orleans. Her artwork is an inspiration of fun and fantasy. Her pet portraits are dressed to impressed and her mermaids swim so fancily and sassy we can't wait for her second illustration book to come out. We discover her cheating ways when it comes to using gouache as a means to mimic watercolor, or at least that's what her audience believe it to be. Find out more of Melissa's techniques and practices.
