artwork. Through her work, Melaine has become a sought-after artist, particularly within the aviation and military communities.

Some of Melaine’s most notable projects include designing the T-7A Redhawk paint scheme for the USAF’s next-generation fighter trainer aircraft, creating the "Into the Sky" aircraft coloring book, and designing numerous patches and illustrations for corporate and military organizations. She is also the creator of the “Fly Like A Girl” patch, worn by female aviators in over 20 countries. Most recently, her work accompanied the Polaris Dawn Female Astronauts on their
mission to space—proving that not even the sky is the limit!
