Melissa Davis

Meet my Mom, Melissa Davis (aka Melissa Weller Davis), "the treasure map for my life’s adventure." Her illustration of Rosslyn's dock house / boathouse set the tone for Rosslyn Redux a looong time ago, and her inspiring influence is woven throughout!

My mother is a remarkably nimble creative force, always curious, always eager for a new adventure. She encourages wondering and wandering, and she has a gift for drawing out the good even in bad actors. Somehow she always knows the right lever to pull at the right time. The quintessential catalyst. A natural leader. The perfect mother when I was a tyke, a teenager, a young adult trying to figure out how to navigate the world, and now that I’m a middle aged man STILL trying to figure out how to navigate the world.

The following are just a few of the most notable examples of posts in which Melissa Davis figures prominently. But her influence is present from beginning to end.
