About Me
- Louise Mellon/Louise Mellon Artworks
- About the artist: Louise came from a family of artists and was encouraged and mentored by them from an early age. The request for a watercolor paint box was the ultimate bribe when she was ordered to sit still at age four for a photographic portrait. The formal portrait clearly shows the gleaming fifty cent piece she was rolling in her fingers that was for the purchase of a most cherished prize. She grew up painting and riding and driving horses in Middleburg, Virginia, and now paints from her studio in Aiken, South Carolina. She also breeds Connemara ponies, and is on the Board of the Aiken Center of the Arts where she helps entice notables in the arts to Aiken to share their knowledge with others. Her unusual paintings are always looked forward to at shows, and once buyers become collectors of her work, they are treated to extra gifts of works and discounts on future pieces. Louise credits her family, her participation in many workshops, and courses taken at the University of South Carolina Aiken for the courage to do art that is different and frequently unexpected.
