Melanie Long

Meet Melanie Long, the newly elected 2024 LWS Second Vice President.  She studied art as a child, drawing and painting through High School, then took several classes while at LSU. After a hiatus while raising a son, she started painting oil, colored pencils, pastels, and most recently painting with watercolor. While traveling with her husband, Lenny, she has visited art museums throughout Europe, inspiring ideas for future paintings. She is most inspired by the beauty of landscape, architecture of buildings, and expressions of animals. She has taken several workshops through LWS. She is happy to be a member of the 2024 LWS Board.
