Hey Y'all! 

I'm Melanie — maker, learner, and painter at heart.

For over a decade I've been teaching paint parties across Middle Tennessee, and the thing that keeps me coming back is simple: the joy on someone's face when they finish a painting they're proud of. It never gets old.

Through Hometown Paints, I bring that same experience online — step-by-step painting lessons built for beginners and anyone who's always wanted to try.

Whether you're looking for a fun night out, a private group event, or an online experience you can enjoy from home — I've got you covered.

All About Me

I'm a wife and mom of two boys, and we call Pleasant View, Tennessee home — a sweet little town about 20 minutes northwest of Nashville.

Creativity has been part of my story for as long as I can remember. From drawing and crafting as a little girl to earning my art education degree, making things has always been the thing that fills me up most. There's nothing quite like it.

I'm so grateful that today I get to do what I love — be my own boss, be present for my family, and teach people who are ready to discover their own creativity. It doesn't get better than that.

I'm so glad you found your way here. Truly.

Let's make something together.

Melanie
