The world wide web can be a strange place.  We “meet” folks with whom we share interests and affinities.  Friendships are made with people we’ve never laid eyes on in real life.  Seattle artist Melanie Biehle and I share a love for the Northwest, Gilmore Girls, art, and travel.

Her most recent painting series, Nomads, “is inspired by wanderlust, how it feels to be a traveler, and what I imagine it would be like to accept a new place as home for a while.”  No wonder I love it so much, it perfectly describes my life!

I love the graphic quality of Melanie’s work– can’t you just see the wanderings across each of these pieces?  See more from the Nomads collection and read about the inspiration behind each piece on Melanie’s website.  And be sure to follow her artistic journey on Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram!
