First Rochester, NY Art Feature – Collaborative Show at Melo Coffee & Kitchen This August!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be part of a collaborative art show this August at Melo Coffee & Kitchen in the heart of Rochester’s Neighborhood of the Arts, my first local feature since relocating!

As a Rochester-based watercolor artist, I’ll be showcasing three original watercolor pieces in this group exhibition. It’s a perfect way to join the vibrant Rochester, NY art community and begin sharing my work in this city I now call home.

☕ Where Local Art and Community Meet

Melo Coffee & Kitchen is a beautiful neighborhood café filled with light, comfort, and community—so it feels like the perfect first venue to introduce my art in Rochester. The Neighborhood of the Arts is such a creative and inspiring part of the city, and I’m honored to contribute to this space.

This collaborative art show in Rochester, NY features a variety of local artists, and I’m so excited to have my watercolor work included alongside theirs. If you’re looking to support independent artists in Upstate NY, this is a perfect chance to do just that.

🎨 What I’m Showing

I’ll be displaying three original watercolor paintings, each one inspired by the quiet, meaningful moments I’ve been noticing since arriving in Rochester. Think slow walks in the drizzle, sunlight through old windows, and the peaceful kind of beauty that sneaks up on you.

As always, my work is grounded in softness and curiosity. If you're drawn to gentle storytelling through art, I’d love for you to come take a look.
