Melanie Posner: Queer Friendships & Turning Art Into Healing

Kirstie Pike Season 2 Episode 8

Today’s guest is Melanie Posner - an LGBTQ+ muralist, portrait artist, and creative force based in Los Angeles whose bold, unapologetic work centers around empowerment, identity, and mental health. Through large-scale murals and intimate portraits, Melanie transforms public spaces into canvases of self-expression and healing.

In this episode, we go beyond the canvas to talk about her personal journey—moving to LA, navigating self-discovery, building queer community, and how art became both her purpose and her path to personal growth. So get comfy, stay open, and let’s get into it.
