Go Coastal Studios by Artist Melissa Rinaldi
Finding a unique gift – whether it be a graduation, birthday, or for their home – can be tough; however, Melissa Rinaldi has made it easy. Her company, Go Coastal Studios, brings the tropical feel of going to or having gone to college in Florida to her creative and personalized artwork. Her university watercolors as maps, which will brighten any dorm or a new home for an alumnus or grad announcements, are spectacular. The announcements cost between $45 and $90. We are also big fans of her painted university pumpkins and cocktail mermaids.
Artist Melissa Rinaldi of Go Coastal Studios makes all sorts of things for UCF, UF, FSU, FAU, UM, and USF. She can put her beautiful maps and illustrations on sun shirts ($40), blankets ($65), fine art prints (between $25 and $225 depending on size), and beach towels ($45). Another favorite is her original watercolors on paper that are custom maps of your university of choice for $350.
She can also take a photo of your student, perhaps in an iconic location on campus, and turn it into a beautiful custom watercolor. You probably get it by now; we are big admirers of her super colorful and coastal themes designs. They are fun, light, and will definitely be the most novel gift or grad announcement out there. Melissa has been a professional artist in Palm Beach County for the past four years.
Melissa Rinaldi grew up in the Arts and Crafts Capital of Kentucky and has been creating art since a very young age. Being homeschooled through her early years allowed her the flexibility to develop her skill as an artist and explore her natural talent. During summers in high school and college, she enjoyed painting murals, teaching, and lifeguarding in South Carolina and abroad in Madrid, Spain. She has always had a passion for art, design, illustration, and nature. Melissa currently resides in Palm Beach County, Florida, and is becoming known for her bright coastal style.
