Meet the Teacher: Melissa Meverden
Melissa Meverden is an educator and artist who is passionate about nurturing creativity and self-expression. Melissa taught middle and high school English, worked as an instructional coach for teachers, and now teaches art around town to adults and kids.
In her own art practice, Melissa draws inspiration from nature and uses lots of found and recycled items in her work. She loves to collect new treasures and create alongside her children (7 and 9) and feline studio assistant, Mister Kitty. One of her dreams is to open a Creative Reuse store, an arts and crafts-themed thrift store for makers and teachers. Melissa is also passionate about building creative community. She serves as the current president of the North Charleston Artist Guild, and exhibits art in local galleries & shows. You can shop her art in person at The Station Park Circle in North Charleston.”
