Shina’s primary painting style is abstraction and her greatest inspiration comes from nature. In essence, her relentless pursuit is to depict the spatial feeling of large landscapes in an abstract way, and reinterpret natural elements into simple colors and shapes.
She also paints realistic and impressionist-style landscapes and seascapes. She believes that color has a magical effect and that artistic elements are a great influence on the human emotion and soul. In this pursuit, she wants to convey a good, positive mood and energy through her paintings.
Melody Cloud
Melody Joy Cloud is a wife, mother, and worship leader based in Cleveland, Tennessee. Her roots run deep in the church, as that is where she spent the majority of her life growing up in West Virginia.
At 15, Melody began her journey as a songwriter and traveled to many churches across the states as she followed the call to ministry. It was also at this time that she began ministering through Youtube to sing and speak life over her viewers. She and her husband moved to Tennessee from North Carolina in 2018 to plant a church with his family. Jacob’s Tent now houses 350 members and counting each week, in addition to their thriving live stream community.
Melody decided to take a step back from traveling and online ministry after having their firstborn in 2020, to immerse herself in motherhood; but still leads worship alongside her husband at every service. Life has now come full circle, as she is currently writing songs for a future album and shares encouraging content on her Instagram, touching on the topics of worship, motherhood, marriage, and healthy living while keeping Jesus at the center of it all.
