Melissa Lakey is an artist and illustrator based in Joshua Tree, California. She takes inspiration from the traditional culture, fauna and flora, and landscapes of the High Desert of California to create her lush and multicolored paintings and pictorial sculptures.
I work in a variety of traditional materials, combining organic textures, fun colors, and playful subject matter to create artwork that celebrates the landscape and animals of the American Southwest, as well as a nostalgia for travel, road trips, and summer vacations. I enjoy working on projects and illustrations that bring a smile to people’s faces or a touch of imagination to their homes.
