Art should bring joy and life to everyone who views it.
Melanin Daune was founded on a need to see brilliantly coloured art featuring real people. Too often popular art pieces highlight perfect models but as an artist I wanted to showcase my neighbours, my loved ones and friends in a stream of beautiful colours. I feel like everyone deserves to have a piece of artwork that reflects them and their essence in the best light.
Personal Consultation
Your artwork is one of a kind from the inception. We start with a consultation where we discuss all of the details of what you would like to see in your final art piece.
Design Feedback
Midway through the process of creation of your art piece, I will be in contact for feedback about the project. My only wish is that you are completely satisfied with your art piece.
Delivery
After completion of the art work, you will be contacted with a delivery date, if you have chosen a canvas or jacket piece. If you have chosen a digital art piece, you will be sent the file.
Personal
Digital Portraits
Digital painting has emerged as an art form which uses familiar painting techniques such as watercolour, oil, acrylic, airbrushing etc. but it is applied with digital tools in programs on the computer or tablet. I will be using these techniques to make a digital portrait using the photographs provided by you. There are many benefits to choosing a digital portrait. The main one is flexibility.
Custom
Jacket Painting
Personalized Jackets are the most recent addition to the Melanin Daune family and one of our client favourites. At the core, it is considered wearable art. Acrylic Paint is mixed with a fabric medium which creates an incredibly thick and beautiful texture. This paint is applied to a jacket provided by us or you in a unique design. Each jacket is one of a kind!
Acrylic
Canvas Paintings
The most requested portrait is the Acrylic canvas painting. People desire to have a physical painting because of the amazing texture and presence that a canvas can have in a home. It is also the definition of one of a kind. There is only one of these paintings in the entire world and it belongs to you and your family.

The Mission
Our Mission at Melanin Daune is to provide a one of a kind service where individuals can take home a piece of joy and colour in a world often full of darkness and pain. The name combines the two most important parts of me as a person. Daune for both my mother and daughter who carry that name. One who is no longer with us but was the brightest star and the second whose joy of living cannot be contained. Melanin for the pigment in my skin that is often seen with disdain but I feel is beautiful and powerful at the same time and that should be embraced.
