artist  & abstract painter based 

in  Oak  Island , North Carolina

Missy's educational journey led her to three prestigious institutions where she honed her artistic skills. She pursued her studies at The Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C., Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, and the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia.

 

Since 1996, Missy has thrived as a freelance artist, specializing in crafting personalized paintings. In 2009, she established her own studio, Pescado Y Amor, which became a creative haven where she conducted workshops, cultivated her artistic brand, and discovered her unique voice as an artist.

 

Missy's original paintings adorn the walls of restaurants, cafés, retail establishments, and private residences across the United States, Mexico, and worldwide. Her artistic creations have found homes in the collections of private art enthusiasts around the globe. Looking ahead, Missy intends to shift her focus toward her art, gradually reducing her involvement in workshops and retreats. She eagerly anticipates participating in more exhibitions and showcases in the forthcoming years.

Statement:

In the ephemeral language of colors and textures, I express what words often cannot capture.

​

My work exists at the intersection of emotion, perception, and lived experience, conveyed through vibrant, mixed-media abstract paintings. Each piece is layered with rich textures, secret messages, and poetry, brought to life through my unique marks and lines that form a personal visual language.

 

I invite viewers into a dialogue that transcends the surface, exploring deep connections between nature, humanity, and shared energy moments.

My goal is for the audience not just to see the painting—but to hear it.

​

 

At the core of my creative process is the transformation of experience into visual metaphor. Every emotion, every nuance, every fleeting moment is distilled into imagery that takes shape on the canvas through bold hues and dynamic textures. I don’t simply paint objects, landscapes, or people—I paint the essence of sound, motion, and feeling.

​

My art is more than a reflection of how I see the world; it is an invitation to journey with me. Together, let us delve beneath the surface to discover a world not just as it is, but as it could bevibrant, harmonious, and profoundly interconnected.
