On today’s episode of the Rural Revival podcast we’re with Melissa Lyons of Melissa Lyons Art in Beaufort, South Carolina (pop. 12,960). Melissa was a military wife trying to make more money for her family when she started painting, and now 11 years later her art has landed her in places like Hobby Lobby and Target, and she’s hosting creative weekends to help teach others everything she knows. She shares her powerful story and what she has walked through to get to where she is today, and how those dreams and desires that are in all of us for a reason.  You’ll love to see how all of this has unfolded in Melissa’s life to get where she is today, and her creative weekends look amazing! They are selling out quickly, so if you want in, don’t wait on it. Check out more on the blog.
