🎨 MINIATURE ART. BIG FUN! 🎉

There's something nostalgic about dropping quarters into a machine, turning the knobs, and waiting to see what comes out. ✨A little anticipation and a surprise every time.

That's the fun I'm bringing to Evoke with our new Miniature Fine Art machine!

Over 40 collector's edition prints featuring original artwork by Melissa Mitchell, printed on premium 100% cotton fine art paper. Some prints are even individually hand-embellished with a little extra sparkle. ✨

Just $1 (four quarters) for a surprise miniature work of art!

And we'll also have adorable miniature collector's albums to carry and protect your growing collection!

COLLECT • TRADE • SHARE

I've had so much fun putting this together, and I can't wait to see people experience fine art in a whole new, old-school way!

Coming TODAY to Evoke, with a pop-up appearance at Lively Beach Market this November! 🎉 by @evokebymelissa

Something new with a vintage vibe is on the way!

An original, hand-illustrated design inspired by the charm of old-fashioned souvenir postcards and the island we love.

I had so much fun creating this one—from hand-lettering the oversized typography to illustrating a few of my favorite sights along our shoreline.

Coming soon to @evokebymelissa on cropped tees, vintage-style postcards, and a few more surprises! ✨

Everything is cuter in miniature. 🍂🎃
Our first batch of hand-painted mini pumpkins is arriving at Evoke on Tuesday! Each one is painted individually, so no two are quite alike.

Perfect tucked into a fall tablescape, gathered in a bowl, perched on a shelf, or given as a sweet little hostess gift.

They’re tiny enough to add a little touch of fall almost anywhere.
Only 10 available in this first batch!

Introductory price | $10 each

Pumpkin season is arriving at Evoke Studio & Gifts. ✨

Of course, we do fall a little differently around here.

From warm autumn tones and pumpkin serving pieces to coastal blues, hand-painted pumpkins, seasonal fragrance and original art, little touches of fall are beginning to make their way throughout the shop.

Come find something for your table, your home—or just because you’re ready to celebrate that pumpkin season has officially begun. 🍂

A little Evoke update...
(Shopping link in bio)
I’ve flown home for a bit to check on things here—home, business, and all the things that have been waiting while I’ve been away.
There are still some unknowns with my daughter’s situation, and I may be heading back to California, so I’m not quite ready to say, “I’m back for good.”
But I am here for now, and Evoke will be open while I am. I’ll keep you posted if anything changes.
And if you know me, you probably already know what happens when I have a little downtime... I’ve been creating. 😊
California brought quite a change in weather. I was completely unprepared for those 40-degree mornings, but it was definitely sweater weather and pumpkin spice latte time. 🍂☕
That little taste of the season inspired the first of two new collections I created while I was away from Evoke: “Gathering Fall”—pumpkins, autumn leaves, a cozy latte and a loaded old pickup. It was especially fun for someone who loves fall but doesn’t get nearly enough of it back home on the Island.
Then my drawings took a slightly different turn... “Spooked” came next. 👻🕷️ My daughter’s favorite time of year, so this one is for her.
One startled ghost led to a very nervous spider, a dramatic black cat, a few suspicious mushrooms, moons and stars—and another collection was born.
Both collections began with my original hand-drawn artwork and grew into patterns and products—from stationery and socks to blankets, apparel and even Hey Boo Mommy & Me pajamas. Creating gave me something positive and fun to focus on during some very long days.
And while I was creating, I also gave Evoke’s website some much-needed attention. I am expanding the online Gift Shop to make it more of a shopping experience of its own, with Online Exclusives you won’t find inside the gallery.
Evoke will always be about walking through the doors, discovering the work of our artists and finding something you didn’t expect. But now there will be a little bit more to discover online, too.
Things are still a little unsettled, and we are taking things as they come. But for now, the doors are open, there are some fun new things to share.

Thank you. 💜
While we continue settling into this next phase of my daughter’s medical treatment in California, my daughter Lauren opened Evoke for a few hours today while I’m still away.

I’m so touched by the kindness surrounding that little opening—from Kaylee’s Light Foundation and the Island Moon Newspaper for encouraging our community to support Evoke, to our artists and friends who shared the event, and especially those of you who made a point of stopping by today.

Some very familiar faces walked through those doors—people who have supported Evoke and our artists again and again—and knowing you were there today meant a great deal to me.

Thank you to Lauren for taking time to open the gallery, and to each of you who stopped in, shopped, shared a post, or sent a kind message.

I may be a long way from home right now, but I certainly felt the love from the Island today. 💜

With gratitude,
Melissa by @evokebymelissa

Please come shop if you are able. This Saturday, September 5th, 12:00-4:00.

Thank you 🙏🏼🩷 by @evokebymelissa

A little update...
First, thank you for the messages, prayers, and understanding over the past several days. They have meant a great deal.

My daughter recently underwent emergency surgery following an unexpected medical complication and has been in the hospital for a little over a week. She has responded very well to treatment, and we are thankful for her medical team and the care they have provided throughout this process.

She has been able to step outside with her nurse twice now for a few minutes of fresh air in the hospital’s beautiful healing garden. This special space, designed just for patients and their families, offers a quiet place to enjoy nature and a little sense of normalcy during a difficult time. We are especially thankful for thoughtful spaces like this and for the small moments of healing they provide. ❤️

While we are still waiting to see exactly what the next steps will look like, there is encouraging news. We are hopeful she will be able to continue her recovery outside of the hospital soon. Even after discharge, she will need continued medical care and support as she heals.

I will be staying here in California with her through this next phase of recovery until she is settled with the support she needs at home.

Evoke Studio & Gifts will remain temporarily closed.

At this time, I do not have an exact reopening date, but I will share an update when I have a clearer picture.

I know this affects my artists and those who regularly visit and support Evoke, and I truly appreciate your patience during this unexpected time.
Thank you for giving me grace and understanding as I stay exactly where I need to be. ❤️

Melissa

A quick note from me—

Due to an unexpected family emergency, I’ll be away from Evoke for a little while. I’m not sure yet exactly what the next several days will look like, so there may be some temporary changes to our regular hours.

I’ll post updates here as I know more.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and for always being so supportive of our little gallery and shop. It means more than you know. ❤️
