My street paintings are a performance in visual art using the asphalt as my canvas. My imagery, traditional in execution but whimsical in style is a powerful statement of ephemeral beauty. Fading with the wind, rain, and footsteps, the once vivid imagery is soon lost to the evolution of the surface.

"Melanie Stimmell is a modern day Leonardo da Vinci. Her imagination and wild ability to paint and illustrate can bring extraordinary drama and appeal to any communications campaign." -Vicki Prentice
