Illustrator Gallery - Melinda Nettles

Melinda Nettles

• I am an illustrator and artist based in Eugene, Oregon, where I do my work under the moniker LEAN2creative works.  I have a small obsession with imperfect, scrappy things…creatures with pluck and character: the goat and the jackrabbit, the javelina and the owl…and nature-y things that are a little rough around the edges, like scrubby landscapes and cactuses (stinging nettle, anyone?)…and farms & farmer’s markets & food-ly things.  I have a background in architecture, and a fondness for buildings that are, like everything else I adore, a little wonky, a little rough around the edges, with history and quirks, and character.
