About the Artist

Melissa Thomsen is an northeastern woman with a mission to share God’s Word through compelling, inspirational and interpretive works of art.

She believes in the importance and life-giving power of the Word of God and desires to draw hearts closer to Jesus Christ and God the Father through her work.

If you have known me for some time, you know there are multiple avenues of art creating that I have pursued. As you may have noticed, I’ve simplified the design of the website, but other links can still be accessed here. Years ago, this website began its major growth through free printable paper dolls and in the midst of business, I’ve tried multiple opportunities. I hope these links will be helpful for anyone looking for these lines of art! :)
