Baker Artist Portfolios

Melora’s travel blog, earthonfoot.org, chronicles journeys along pilgrimage trails, cobblestoned cityscapes, and quiet hills—often running or walking, sometimes dining with scientists and professors. She’s also been known to make a sketch or two along the way. In fact, her paintings, drawings and other art can be found in private collections around the world. 

Melora holds a BFA in painting from MICA, a Master of Acupuncture from TaiSophia Institute (now Notre Dame of Maryland University), where she taught and practiced acupuncture for many years. She is currently working on a novel. 

“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country
