Local art, delivered to your mailbox every month.

Every month, we feature a different local artist and send their artwork to members of the Melissa Mail Club as a collectible postcard, along with a little about the artist and the piece.

Want to learn more? Each month's featured artist is also highlighted here on our website in our Monthly Artist Spotlight, where you can read their full story, see more of their work and find out where to follow them.

It’s a way to celebrate the creative people in our community and bring a little art into the everyday—right there in your mailbox.

Here's how you can be part of it:

Meet This Month's Artist


This October, the Postcard Edition features Susan Baker Chambers, a Little Rock painter whose work grows straight out of her garden. Working in acrylic and gouache, Susan starts by painting from observation and develops those studies into studio pieces on canvas.

"The more I work in my garden, the more I learn about myself and my connection to the earth."

Read the full spotlight to learn more about Susan, her work and where to find it.
