About the Instructor:

Edie Melson is a woman of faith with ink-stained fingers who has been known to announce that she’s creative out of self-defense. With an artist-mother and musician-turned-photographer-father, she’d have been a disgrace if she hadn’t been true to her own brand of creativity. She’s a writer who feels lost without her camera and a reluctant speaker who loves to encourage an audience. And she embraces the ultimate contradiction of being an organized creative.
