Tess Mellinger is a fine artist specializing in western landscape paintings. After earning her BA in Art from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2011, she spent nearly two decades exploring and painting the diverse landscapes of Nevada and the surrounding areas. In 2022, she relocated to Flagstaff, Arizona, where she continues to find inspiration in the awe-inspiring beauty of the American Southwest.

Working both en plein air and in her studio, Tess captures the essence of the southwest, from the stark beauty of ghost towns and the resilience of wildlife to the haunting presence of forgotten artifacts.
