Artist Melissa Bean says:

"My work has been featured in many publications, including Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion, Midwest Living, Mpls. St. Paul, Minnesota Monthly, Dog World (Product of the Year award), Cats & Kittens, Cat Fancy and various newspapers. You can see my work in person at the Frederick Weisman Art Museum shop in Minneapolis or in St. Louis, Missouri at American Visions Contemporary Crafts.

"For the past nine years I have been doing commercial artwork for individuals and businesses. My jobs have been varied—commercial and residential signage, a state fair booth, magazine illustration (most recently the March, 2002 cover of Postgraduate Medicine) and people and pet ceramic portrait sculptures. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design. I also attended Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine.

"You will find me a very creative individual who is easy to work with, has a sense of humor, and is very adept at creating concepts and finished art. I work out of a studio in southeast Minneapolis with complete production and administrative facilities. Please e-mail me with your ideas for artwork. I look forward to working with you."
