Melanie Katherine Villari of MKV STUDIOS




Melanie Katherine Villari of MKV STUDIOS is a full-time, multitalented artist from New Jersey. She is also a psychic, writer, empowerment jewelry maker, entertainment reviewer, housewife, and much more. She calls herself the Mixed Media Witch. With her free spirit and eclectic gothic style, she uses deep intuition to create her art.

For as long as she can remember, Melanie knew she was an artist! And, being an artist is a big part of who she was, is, and will be. Everything is layered within art. Her inspiration comes from old vintage photos, places and antiques she sees and collects along her life travels. You can see this in her unique styles and techniques. Her paintings are multilayered with innate details. Creating for Melanie is a release of her innermost joys and deepest fears! She does not stick to one technique and this creates her unique evolving style! Melanie keeps a personal art journal she paints in for self-development and expression. The freedom of her art journal allows her to break through artist block and fears. She feels art is a process of life that should keep flowing and not be left stagnant.


MKV STUDIOS participates in many art shows and events in the New York/ New Jersey and surrounding areas selling original art, art prints, and empowerment jewelry.

Musings from a Mixed Media Witch...


How would you describe your artistic personality? Well mine is a bit frantic mixed with high anxiety and intuition! 
I suffer from social anxiety which is a blessing and a curse! The blessing is the many days I do not leave the house!!!
I spend my days with messy hair and paint all over my cloths! 
I can go days without socializing at all!!!
The deception is that others look at me as a extremely social person!
Well I've learned how to act social while dreading social events!
All these hours at home give me the freedom to grow my art and evolve as an artist!
I spend hours experimenting with new techniques in my art journals while slowly creating new canvases...
I have learned I need to incorporate a health life style while working as a intuitive coach.
Mind, body and soul is a must for balance...
I have know I was an artist as long as my brain can remember! I have learned it is a big part of who I am!
When I stop painting all other areas in my life stagnate! 
Creating for me is a release of my inner emotions and deepest fears!
The depth of my art comes from a part of me I don't even understand!
I would define myself as a Intuitive Mixed Media Artist!
I cannot stick to one technique!
I have loosely given myself challenges for 2016! 
I am looking forward to shareing my creative journey with whoever flows me...
Art is a process of life that should flow... 
Even through the dry spells and thick artistic blocks I push through! 
Follow your heart through your Art!
Blessings, Melanie
