My VIPs. A private online community just for creatives to spark each other up! Members get first dibs and discount pricing on (almost) everything I create for Living A Creative Life, special freebies not available to the public (or even to blog subscribers), and telephone and web hangouts just for members. The ultimate yummy little treat for getting sparked, stoked and creating!

When was the last time you played? Just for YOU? If you could use a spiritual bubble-bath, you’ll love my instant-download Playshop-In-A-Box! Paper, paint, and play–what could be better? An hour’s worth of video tutorials, a 90-minute mp3 recording of the live Playshop I did in September 2011, and a passel of fun and inspiration.

Calling all artists! Yes, you CAN make a living from your art! It requires work, and a mindset shift, but you CAN learn to be a thriving artist. ArtEmpowers.Me is the membership site and course for artists I created with art-marketing whiz Cory Huff (from The Abundant Artist), that is creating real success for the artists inside. (One artist recently shared that his profits have increased by $1,000/month since joining!)

Live (In-Person!) Workshops

Come spend a transformative week with the Poobahs of Play (that’s me and fellow artist/creative coach Kelly Hevel) and experience Istanbul as no tourist ever will!  Playing Around Istanbul is a creative immersion vacation to awaken your creativity, silence your inner critic, dance with your inner muse, and bring the big visions inside you to life.

Fun & Inspiring Tidbits from My Creative Studio

In 2011, thanks to my 15 Minutes a Day creative challenge, I made over 150 original works of art. I collected my favorite 100 and published them in a book, Melissa Dinwiddie • 100 ArtSparks. Full color, glossy pages, made to inspire. The perfect gift for someone you love.

Like music? I sing. I write songs. I play the ukulele. And bonus points if I can make you laugh so hard you spit out your coffee. Or cry when I sing a heart-wrenching ballad. Either one. Preferably both. Original songs in a fizzy blend of jazz, folk and comedy. Download tracks, or buy physical CDs (they make great gifts!)
