“My mission is light. I’d like to be an example of an energy that no matter wherever I go, I add value to the spaces and lives around me.”-Melanie Bikowski

Melanie Bikowski a self-taught abstract artist that uses her bright colors, shapes, and movement as tools for a conversation with the universe. Her artistic process is built around the concept that everything is an energy; an entity and it is alive. She uses abstract expressionistic techniques to personify juxtaposed concepts like the relationship between technology and nature. As a child playing outside until the street lights came on to growing up to work for a cyber-security company, she often uses her art to respond to the world around her. Her goal is to open the world up to magical thinking by sharing her artistic practice and presenting artworks and books to the masses.

In 2015, she began to share her artwork on public platforms and within the first year created over 500 colorful works, which landed her an artist residency at Olly Olly in Old Town Fairfax, VA.

In 2018, her first poetry book, WILD, debuted with an unapologetic narrative of personal experiences with emotions, heartbreak, pain, and recovery. You can pick up a copy of her book, WILD, on Amazon.

In her free time, she likes to explore national parks with her family, meditate, cook, and honor her yoga practice.

Melanie offers a variety of large and small original art to add to your collection. She sells artwork nationally and is an international author.
