ORIGINAL WORKS • PENSECOLA, FLORIDA
Theresea' paints, fires clay, and weaves textiles in her American Studio. No gallery takes a cut. No curator decides your taste. You come directly to the maker.
"The gallery system was never built for the artist. It was built for the collector. I chose a different door."
Most original paintings pass though three or four hands before they reach yours - each taking 30-50% and none of them the person who made it. The artist is the last to be paid, and the first to be forgotten.
Melangell exists to end that arrangement. Every piece you see here made by Theresea' in her studio, priced by Theresea', and shipped directly to you. This is what art can look like when the maker controls the door.

The 50% commission is on the beginning. Here is what actually happens between the studio and the collector's wall.
The second firing is where the clay decides what it wants to be. I've learned to let it.

The women who make the scarves you'll find in this shop. A portrait of American craft, still very much alive.
