About Melissa Gates

My artwork is a variety of passions and styles. I love both colour and simplicity, heavy textured acrylics, or soft watercolours. My work is often nature-based and abstract contemporary. I love to evoke calmness and peaceful settings in my paintings – sometimes with minimal colour, other times with a burst of fun and warm colourful tones.

I find inspiration from the beauty of Prince Edward County and places along Lake Ontario, Quinte West, or the many hiking trails and lookouts in the area.

As a recent Therapeutic Arts Practitioner graduate from the Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy, I strive to bring the calmness and stress-relief benefits of being creative into the community as well through my coaching business Grace Creative Therapeutic Arts.
