Today she focuses on fore-edge painting and visionary art. These are two rare and exciting art forms.
So, what is fore-edge painting? Often referred to as a lost art form, as they are indeed rare, fore-edge painting under gold is believed to have been introduced into English edge decoration in the 10th century by monks. The fore-edge was often used to display the book's title or ownership. This form of book edge decoration is accomplished with watercolor. A phantom image of the painting is seen when the book is closed. To see the complete painting, the book has to be opened and the leaves fanned out.

Spirit Guardian
The other exciting art form Melody focuses on is visionary art. And what's a visionary artist, you may ask? As a visionary artist, Melody can see people on the Other Side. Some people refer to this as psychic art. She sees images in her mind's eye — the third eye — and then sketches what is seen. This also called clairvoyance. Melody has blended her artistic talents and her clairvoyance to create spirit sketches for others. Her academic training prepared her how to research and validate information. So when Melody began this visionary unfolding she researched these images. She discovered the images and names she was receiving were accurate 95% of the time. She has been able to locate photographs and information that supports the visual images she receive — this even includes spirit guides! Her spirit sketches are of spirit guides, past lives, and deceased loved ones. Melody does not control who comes through. She sketches the image of the spirit who shows up. So, it is important to be open to who comes through, be it your spirit guide or a deceased loved one, or yourself in a past life.
Do you ever wonder who is around you, supporting you, guiding you, encouraging you to be your biggest dream? Or, perhaps you may want a trigger to remember what energy you left behind in a past life, so you may bring more peace into this life. Melody’s visionary art offers another tool for self unfolding.
