What Collectors + Clients Think
Diane Terry, Managing Real Estate Broker and Business Coach
“I had followed Melanie Biehle’s career on Instagram for some time and knew that I really loved her work. We started our bathroom remodel during Covid and when the room was complete I knew I wanted a special piece of art for one wall. I originally bought a piece by a California artist I discovered on Tappan. It was fine, but it also made my heart sink every time I walked into the room. Then one day I saw a post about some art Melanie had done and thought THAT is what I want, but with just the lightest touch of this blush incorporated to complement the tiles in our renovation. Although I have collected art for decades I had never commissioned anyone for a bespoke piece. I certainly did not want to insult Melanie and tell her it was for a bathroom, regardless of how special! At the time she had a very informative article on how to commission a bespoke painting. It removed the intimidation factor. Melanie could not have been more lovely or easier to work with. We exchanged photos and thoughts by email and in short order my art work arrived. It is absolutely perfect. Every time I see it, my shoulders relax and I take a deep breath and I feel good! Thank you!”

“My first Melanie Biehle painting was purchased during Covid and it was such a bright spot during a dark time. It was a small landscape and my first original art purchase. We placed it near our front entry and years later it is still the first thing I look at when arriving home and instantly makes me feel at peace. When we found our dream second home across the state I knew instantly I wanted Melanie’s art to welcome one inside there as well. Two of her paintings have now found a place there and every time I see them I’m reminded how art and artists like Melanie connect us both to ourselves and to the joy that comes from inviting beauty into our homes.”
Kim Brotherton, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
“Melanie’s paintings feel to me like they contain other worlds, and also evoke worlds from within. The earthy, deep quality of her Abstract Landscape series particularly spoke to me and after months of returning to her online gallery, I was thrilled to bring home Abstract Landscape No. 6, Through the Depths. The minute I unpacked it, I felt it belonged on the altar in my living room rather that up on a wall. It’s become an interactive piece in my life, marking changing seasons and special milestones commemorated in that sacred space. If you have the chance to bring one of her works home, don’t hesitate! They contain magic.”
Eileen Brennan
“While feeling overwhelmed looking for art online, I decided to take a break and scroll through my Instagram feed. There I found my art! It was serendipitous that a designer I follow had just posted showcasing a number of Melanie’s beautiful paintings – and one that I instantly loved. I went to Melanie’s Instagram account and saw the painting had recently been completed. I messaged Melanie asking for the details of the work – she was super responsive answering my questions the same day. As I had never purchased original art online before I was anxious about buying art from photos. Melanie understood my concern and was patient and very informative making me feel comfortable about the purchase. The painting was very well packaged and shipped to my home in Bay Area in a matter of days. Melanie made the whole experience a very positive one for me, and my painting Reach for the Bright Side makes me smile every time I see it.”
Merry Jennifer Markham, Oncologist & Travel Advisor
“I have been a longtime follower of Melanie on Instagram. When she posted an image of one of her latest original works at the time, I reached out to her and made arrangements to purchase the painting. Her paintings are gorgeous, and this piece just called to me. She shipped it all the way across the country to me in Florida, and it arrived in perfect condition as it had been packed with great care. The painting hangs in a prominent spot in my living room and it remains one of my favorite purchases for my home.”
Nancy Bohling
“My husband and I love Melanie’s work. We have been privileged to collect multiple pieces including a triptych that we commissioned. Melanie thoughtfully and creatively worked with us to create a unique piece that was perfect for our space. We are excited to welcome to our home a newly purchased work and can’t wait for it to be installed!”
Chelsea Page, Senior Producer at Digital Kitchen
“Melanie collaborated closely with Digital Kitchen in late 2016, creating two commissions for a lobby installation at Second + Seneca in downtown Seattle. As part of the spatial refresh, Melanie's pieces were activated by DK with subtle animation - a creative partnership that required great communication by Melanie + a willingness to reimagine her creative process. Melanie couldn't have made it smoother for our team. She was both artist + production partner --her professionalism only to be exceeded by her creative talent. DK looks forward to working with Melanie again + is excited to discover her future work!”
Rachel Epstein
“Our family was fortunate enough to come across of piece of Melanie's art, which we fell in love with, and decided to incorporate into our living room decor. We later commissioned Melanie to make two additional pieces to accent the original work. Melanie thoughtfully offered to come to our home to see our personal style, made suggestions for size, color, materials and media, and even prepared two small sample pieces to ensure that she was on the right track. She was timely with her communication as well as her art! She hand-delivered the new artwork and we could not be happier with the final two pieces, which highlight the third piece beautifully, and with our experience working with Melanie!”
Melissa Heaton
“I commissioned Melanie to create an original piece of art for our home. From the initial conversation, to delivery of the piece it was a very collaborative process. She took the time to visit our home to see our style and sent me a mood board so we could iterate on the color palette and overall look and feel of the piece. Melanie met every deadline we discussed and was very professional to work with. As an added bonus, she's very smart, funny and delightful to work with. I highly recommend commissioning her to create a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art!”
Jennifer E. Newman, Podcast Host
“Melanie served as the first-ever Creating Your Own Path Artist Resident during the 2017 season and working with her was a dream. Not only did she work effectively and efficiently, but she also took great efforts to help drive the creative vision for the show, the residency, and the physical products that would be created from her work. I truly hope to work with Melanie again sometime in the future!”
Olivia Lambert, Photo Editor for Luxe Interiors & Design Magazine
“Melanie is a talented photographer who I have had the pleasure of working with for a few years now. She shoots subjects for our Style Makers section, and always captures a variety of beautiful images. Melanie’s images tell the complete story of the subject’s work. The feedback from the subjects after the shoots is always positive. They love working with Melanie, she is punctual and does a wonderful job of putting them at ease. I highly recommend Melanie and her keen imaginative eye.“
