Welcome to Dr. Melody’s Art Lab!
I’m Dr. Melody Metcalf-Stotler — media psychologist, art educator, and sparkle-fueled chaos gremlin on a mission to help people create without fear.
This is a space for colorful curiosity, experimental art, and emotional UX. I teach in-person classes at Blaine’s Art Supply in Alaska, offer digital resources for creatives, and build tools for neurodivergent brains who want to make messes on purpose.
Whether you’re here for the art supplies, the psychology, or the vibes — you belong in the Lab.

Colored pencils are like the misunderstood quiet sibling in the art supply world. You likely played with them as a kid, but do you really know anything about them? Do you know what they’re made of? How many kinds there are? What they blend with? Is this the most you’ve ever even thought of them at one time?? Let’s change that, shall we?

Paints are all the Same
If you’re a painter, you probably have a favorite type of paint; but do you know why it’s your favorite? How many types of paints have you tried? Have you tried to make your own? Do you even know what they’re made of? Deep down, all paints are the same but the customization options are endless.
