Beautiful , Well-Crafted Artwork
I saw MELE's artwork while visiting my old stomping grounds of Miami, FL with my wife and kids. Her adorable owls, penguins, hens, and mice were prominently displayed and selling at an art store in Bayside, a great tourist spot near the port of Miami and Miami Beach. My wife and I fell in love with the owls but didn't think we could fit them in the suitcase, so we held off on buying them. As an added kick to the gut, we saw them selling in the Miami Airport.<br /><br />When we got back from our trip, we made a point to look up MELE and that's when we found her artwork on Amazon. We purchased 4 owls (green, yellow, orange, and turquoise) and couldn't be happier with the product. They are gorgeous, handcrafted, and truly unique. They really capture the vibrant, art deco style Miami is known for. As a collector of some of Miami's most prominent artists' work, I think MELE's work belongs right up there with the best of them, and her prices are very reasonable.<br /><br />Best of all, her customer service is fantastic. I made the mistake of ordering 2 orange owls instead of 1 orange and 1 yellow. To be fair, it's a little hard to keep tabs on your order if you plan on ordering multiple the way it's currently setup on Amazon. Anyway, I admitted to my mistake and contacted the seller, which seems to be MELE herself. I returned one orange owl in exchange for the yellow one at no additional cost to me. I really appreciated that type of customer service.<br /><br />I see MELE reaching the mainstream success artists such as Lebo and Romero Britto have achieved, if that's the route she wants to take. I hope more people get to see her work, and she has other items worth checking out. If you are looking for something smaller, I suggest looking into her Mice collection. She also sells kitchenware with her art.
