connecting community. local love. inspiring design.
hello.
Hi, itβs Melissa! You may also know me as @mvh_art around the social world and can find me sharing photography, travels, local love, creative projects, books Iβm reading, and of course food.
I was born and raised in Rochester, NY, and even though I moved away for a few years, I've spent the majority of my life here. This is the city that has my heart and will always be my home. Rochester is the original boomtown in the USA, and I believe we are experiencing a new kind of boom in recent years that is exciting to see and be a part of!
This is the new hub for my creative endeavors, currently including my Etsy shop, local mural commissions, my Living Art βWings of Hopeβ Project, articles, and additional art/photography work. My goal in everything I do is to connect community through art and spread messages of love, support, and hope.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find some joy and inspiration here in my corner of the world!

photography
One of my hobbies and passions is taking photos to showcase the beauty and uniqueness of our city.
I also love to visit and explore new cities, parks, and locations and share the world I experience through my camera lens. I mostly share pics from around Rochester, but I also love to share places I visit when I get the chance! You can follow along and see more on Instagram at @mvh_art!
Currently, these are solely for your visual enjoyment and not for sale, but I hope they inspire you to pick up a camera, or write a story, or visit a new place, or paint a picture, or just love where you live even more.
