Meet the Artist
Melissa
Once upon a time I was a holistic doctor of chiropractic, massage therapist, and energy healer, however, upon the pandemic of 2020 and the world shutting down so too did the life I once
knew it to be. I let “Spirit take the wheel” to lead me to where I was meant to be next. It was a
long and winding road which ultimately led me to Arkansas and back to Buffalo, NY with a
husband and unborn baby in tow. Little did I know that my world wasn’t done transforming quite
yet. In the fall of 2024, our 13 mos old baby girl was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease
called Nephropathic Cystinosis.
My life now exists around her, and learning how to be the best mother and wife I can be whilst befriending and educating myself on this chronic disease. Creative expression continues to be a grounding and therapeutic outlet for me. I love to draw, color, paint, and write. Making greeting cards for friends, family, chronic illness warriors, and fellow caretakers alike, brings me so much joy. The intention of my work, always, is to connect with peoples’ hearts, shine light, and offer love. People can connect with me through Facebook or Instagram @melissa.a.crane
