Melanie Biehle

Abstract Painter

Seattle, Washington

Melanie Biehle creates atmospheric abstract paintings that capture the feeling of travel—spacious, curious, and quietly transportive. Rooted in sensation and memory, her work draws inspiration from the places she’s been and the emotions they evoke, inviting viewers to experience the world through her intuitive lens.

Originally from rural Louisiana, Melanie has called the West Coast home for much of her adult life and now lives just outside Seattle with her husband, son, and a lively mix of pets. Her creative path has taken many forms—from screenwriting and film marketing in Los Angeles to photography and interior storytelling—each experience adding depth to her visual language.

Melanie began painting in her 40s, following studies in abstract painting and composition at Seattle’s Gage Academy of Art. With a background in psychology and a lifelong curiosity about how we perceive and feel, she brings a thoughtful, layered approach to her work—where color, movement, and mood come together in quiet harmony.
