Melinda B Hipple Artist

A practicing artist for over thirty years

Winner of regional and national awards for art and photography throughout the Midwest, I have exhibited a number of one-woman shows in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, and have had works accepted in numerous juried exhibitions.


Past gallery affiliations:

  • Aardvark Foto and Art Affair galleries in Kansas
  • The Society for Contemporary Photography in Missouri
  • Brooks Gallery in Iowa

In addition to creating fine art works and commissioned portraits, I have taught visiting artist programs to elementary and high schools in Missouri and Iowa, as well as drawing and photography classes through community colleges in Nebraska and Iowa. I teach adult and children's drawing and watercolor classes through the Lumberyard Art Center in Baldwin City, Kansas—my current hometown.

I wanted to let you know the art class is the best! Olivia looks forward to it so much every week and always has the best time. Thank you for putting it together and taking the time to let me know about it. Please pass along my thanks to Melinda. You guys are awesome! Andrea M
