Today we’d like to introduce you to Melissa Allegories
Hi Melissa, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
From Teacher to Entrepreneur: Discovering the Ineffable as a Visual Writer
I once thought I was a teacher, specifically an art teacher. But then, I realized I wasn’t an art teacher—I was a teaching artist, in other words, an artist who teaches her own style. I knew right away that I wasn’t meant to be a customer service rep or an art consultant, even though others wanted me to be. That just wasn’t me, and it was driving me crazy. I knew I was inherently a farmer or gardener, which was quite an adventure!
I knew I was an artist, but not quite like any artist I’d met. I didn’t want to be a slave to robots. With all due respect, I’d love a robot to do my chores—not to make my art. I knew I was a writer, but I didn’t realize I was a writer at first. What does that mean? I spent years calling myself an artist and never once called myself a writer. It was like a blind spot.
It’s funny because I was doing both all along, ever since middle school. I drew a bit in elementary, but that was more performance-based—like singing and dancing on stage. In middle school, I began drawing my own story, calling it The Chosen One. By high school, I was creating characters, writing creative short stories, and crafting poems for different narratives.
People told me to focus more on observational drawing to improve, so I did. I stopped drawing characters and started sketching plants outside instead. I practiced drawing from observation while still using my imagination to explore different styles and techniques. My life, though quiet, seemed somewhat pathetic. I began writing and drawing every day throughout my four years in high school from 1999 to 2003. I continued engaging in creative writing and poetry, but I didn’t merge the two. I saw them as separate, so I leaned into the art and never saw myself as a writer. My high school didn’t offer much for writers, but in 12th grade, they introduced their first creative writing elective.
I took it, of course. Maybe I should have been held back a grade—I was offered the chance to graduate early, but I chose to stay, joining the Academy of Finance and ultimately attending two graduation ceremonies. Looking back, I needed career advice; maybe I should’ve studied writing or something related to narrative storytelling. I also loved architecture and patterns, so I was intrigued by visual writing, though I didn’t discover it until my senior year at FAU. I didn’t even see myself as a visual writer until after graduation. I could have been an architect, but writing encompasses my analytical side too, enabling whole-brain thinking. So, the path I took as an artist turned out to be one of an entrepreneur!
I became an entrepreneur without fully realizing it. I knew I had my own ideas, but I thought I’d just end up teaching. To make a long story short, I realized I was a writer first when I received a grant from the Broward Cultural Division. They reviewed my proposal and called me a “writer.” I was surprised, thinking, What?! That’s how I officially became a writer—just last year. All jokes aside, I had been writing and creating visual stories for quite some time.
Everyone prioritizes something, and it saddens me that I hadn’t been prioritizing the right thing. I’ve always had a big imagination, always been making up stories. So why didn’t I prioritize it? Because I understood others better than I understood myself. It took a long time to truly understand myself.
These interviews have been challenging yet intrinsically rewarding, giving me time to delve into my own aspirations. It’s always been easier for me to empathize with others and understand their perspectives. Looking inward and understanding my own mind and why it works the way it does has been much harder.
I’m currently searching for work and support. I previously worked for a man named Aaron B., and I truly valued his perspective and decisions. He offered me a wealth of knowledge and insight in a short time and made me feel valued and safe. With his expertise, I was able to launch my new business website and create meaningful copywriting that aligns with my practice. This is certainly a challenging time, balancing my hopes with the realities of daily demands. Yet, I remain optimistic about brighter days ahead that will allow for more community engagement. I’ve been thoughtfully planning for the future, fully dedicated to streamlining my projects and business while actively reaching out to companies for stable income opportunities.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Solace in the Garden: Learning to Love and Be Loved
Solace is a garden home, and when the negative noises stop, things don’t go pitch black; your eyes open. It’s like illuminating the dark with love letters! At the garden, dreamers dream where everything grows with authentic love.
I want to live a deep, meaningful, and fulfilling life, make the world a bit better in the process, and do it with someone I can spend quality time and love with. That’s what I really want. A good example of that would be to have love with duty or love with a higher purpose.
I am pretty reserved, and I don’t necessarily write about the moments of downtrodden times in my life or the traumatic events I’ve witnessed for two reasons: one, words and positive thoughts are powerful for manifestation; and two, I don’t see a lot of the things I’ve witnessed as entirely my story to tell, as I wasn’t the main character in those stories.
At such a deep and impactful level, I resonated so much with the words spoken by an artist called Dot Fisher-Smith. She was part of a feature documentary released in 2011 called An Ordinary Life. She’s been featured in several articles and videos. One of the things she said in a YouTube video published on the 10th of August, 2024, titled Wisdom at 96: Life Advice from a Century of Experience by Reflections of Life was: “I did not enjoy being a child. I was always the outsider. I was always pointed at. I always felt terribly self-conscious. Terrible! I don’t even like thinking about it. So I have fun now. I’m enjoying my childhood, finally.”
I see that in myself, with a sense that I am getting older but growing younger and learning to be one with myself again. I thank her for those words, which couldn’t come out of my mouth and were so hard for me to describe. Growing up, I was noticeably quiet with a big imagination, and I found immense joy in visually expressing my ideas, feelings, and values. I became like the counselor, and I excelled at school; that’s where I found value and appreciation. I just went through different life phases, and the older I get, the more I am finding my inner child again. I’m growing younger!
I have a push-and-pull relationship with recognition because I don’t necessarily want fame, which can lend itself to a lot of unwanted attention. In other words, attention that’s toxic without good intention, with a focus geared toward sexual desires or gratification, versus one that seeks insights and deep meaning, which is really what I am after with my work. Away from just this body, it’s more spiritual.
I believe that truly living with authenticity means letting go of defense mechanisms to embrace our true self, reconnect with our inner child, and navigate the “monster within us” as if it’s no man’s land, a mediator between light and dark. This involves acknowledging our shadow without letting it define us. By slowing down, we can begin to explore the distinction between our shadow as a survival trait and authentic living, understanding when to allow our shadow to emerge. Constantly being in survival mode—always ready for battle—takes a toll and can rob us of the ability to fully live. While survival mode has its place, I’m learning to release these defenses that no longer serve me, find essential balance within and without, and live a life that’s peaceful yet prepared—mindful, but not restrained by past defenses. This creates space for love with truth and clarity, embracing a deeper sense of inner peace and wholeness.
How can we fill in the lack of emotional and intellectual depth in our society through communication outlets such as social media and the regular day-to-day interactions we engage with? I think it’s important to have fulfilling relationships in both our professional and personal lives.
As you know, we’re big fans of Smile Sweet Sunflower LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Eudaimonia: Cultivating Growth, Healing, and Self-Actualization Through Allegorical Art
Smile Sweet Sunflower LLC is an innovative company registered in New York (NY) and based in Boca Raton–Fort Lauderdale, FL, pioneering the evolving field of allegorical storytelling and dedicated to inspiring personal growth and human development through the transformative fusion of visual artistry and creative writing. Founded in 2022, we are committed to producing meaningful, one-of-a-kind spiritual art and unique allegorical stories with deep philosophical insights that inspire personal growth and reflection—truly rare commodities!
My name is Melissa Hernandez, known artistically as Melissa Allegories. I am constructing a fictitious world to communicate secular, ethical, and logical principles through storytelling arts. Born and raised in Brooklyn with Dominican roots and residing in Sunrise, Florida since 1995, I blend creative writing with allegorical visual representations, emphasizing profound ideas and concepts. As the Founder of Smile Sweet Sunflower LLC, I fuse the visual arts and literature, inviting exploration into a world where philosophical ideas come alive.
The program we are currently working on is called Eudaimonia—Watering, Nurturing, and Cultivating a Life Well-lived. This is also known as Time2Bloom™ and Time2Bloom Co.
With the pressures of a fast-paced lifestyle, we’re driving speeding vehicles in the fast lane—hoping to get on the fast track, setting our bodies in motion without the time to plant the much-needed seeds for personal and societal growth. Our artful, allegorical illustrations and paintings are designed to get you off the fast pace, encouraging you to slow down and breathe in nature’s solace as you reflect and unwind. We like to think of it as navigating vehicles of introspection, embodying the race against time in pursuit of self-actualization and human flourishing for a well-lived life.
The theme of “racing against time” encapsulates the journey of life and the ephemeral nature of existence, highlighting the fragility of human life and underscoring the importance of cherishing every moment. This is achieved by intertwining the symbolism of transportation and gardens. Through the juxtaposition of speeding vehicles and blossoming gardens, we explore the dichotomy between the relentless pace of progress and the timeless rhythms of nature.
From Concepts to Imagery—Our flagship project, Eudaimonia, marks a significant step in our artistic journey of self-discovery, empathy, and a shared vision for a brighter, more compassionate world. We are exploring uncharted territories of expression, pushing the boundaries of traditional artistic mediums for growth and innovation. Our aim is to ignite viewers’ curiosity, setting in motion their journeys of self-exploration, realization, fulfillment, and discovery.
We are aiming to execute a new and innovative style and theme for this body of artwork. I am experimenting with dry brush, stencils, sign-painting, rosemaling, and relief painting techniques, in combination with Lefranc & Bourgeois Flashe Vinyl Paint and Golden Fluid Acrylics. For this program, we are creating a total of 18 landscape 7×5 in. relief paintings, 10 landscape 10×8 in. relief paintings, 2 landscape 24×18 in. relief paintings, and 1 landscape 20×16 in. relief painting. All paintings will be framed and ready to hang.
Art enhances businesses, and businesses enhance artists. We believe in supporting those with shared interests and values. Businesses that display works of art not only add a decorative element to their spaces but also foster a deep connection with their customers, enhancing engagement and loyalty. We are seeking to collaborate with wellness centers to further promote self-healing and empowerment, encouraging viewers to step away from the fast pace, slow down, and breathe in nature’s solace as they reflect and unwind.
We strive to inspire self-actualization and mastery, promote growth and human flourishing, and empower human ingenuity—cleverness, originality, and inventiveness—through the storytelling arts. Our proposed program aims to work with businesses, such as wellness centers, that embody shared values. We are guided by the values of Love (with Truth and Clarity), Hope (for the Greater Good), and Belief (in Our Capability). By elevating these businesses with our Eudaimonia collections, we promote messages of self-healing and empowerment. Additionally, we emphasize the impact of rushing through life, instead welcoming a time to hope, help, and heal.

Virtuous Sacred Spaces: The Artistic Journey of Melissa Allegories
Growing up in Kings County, we lived in two apartments; we lived on Eastern Parkway and then moved into a bigger space 0.3 miles away at Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, New York. The walking distance from Lincoln Place to my school was 0.1 miles, just two minutes away.
When I attended elementary school in Brooklyn, New York, I took part in several theatrical performances. However, I became more expressive through the visual arts which were integrated into my 4th-grade class. I was in the bilingual education program and wore a uniform at Public School 167 (up to the 3rd grade). Within the program I performed on stage with my class for a large group of parents and teachers; these performances ranged from singing The Rainbow Color Song to dancing, chanting, and dressing like Indians to displays of appreciation for Latin culture. I remember getting ready to dance to Latin music in a purple salsa outfit that had an extending ruffle fringe along the back of my short skirt, which I had worn with purple stockings.
Both my older brother and sister had to repeat the 4th grade because they both had difficulties grasping Spanish literacy. So, when my mother saw that I could not read nor write her native language very well, in fourth grade she decided to remove me from the bilingual program. I was placed in an all-English class where I fell in love with the instructor, enjoyed solving mathematical equations, and for the first time became very expressive through the visual arts.
I am a prose girl by nature, and I work best with structure. But in the depths of despair, I have sought poetry as my solace and as a voice for expressing the ineffable. Four years ago, during COVID-19, I was immersed in stanzas and began writing bits and pieces of poetry. One piece that I assembled would later be called Sacred Spaces, Inner Places, written for the course Creative Writing: The Power of Words in the Modern World by Max Stossel, poet, writer, and filmmaker.

Although I don’t consider myself a poet and have no plans to include these bits and pieces of poetry as part of my magnum opus, I intend to convert these fragments written during COVID-19—and both before and after 2020—into prose or use them as inspiration for my growing narrative, Lében. Poetry happens to me as a way to surface subconscious thoughts triggered by strong emotions; in my case, it’s mostly love. It’s like intuitively writing without fully understanding what’s actually being written. Once it’s written, it becomes a tool for self-analysis—at least for me! I don’t consider myself a poet; it’s like having dreams! I prefer not to do it. The last poem I wrote is called Love Writes Code.

“All the signs were there but left unnoticed—then things quickly unfolded.” This is already poetic and a good line to possibly use later down the road, like “falling into the love abyss.” I have a knack for simplifying complex ideas by gathering information, distilling key insights, and presenting the big picture through visual and written words. I gravitate toward ethics. Politics often loses my interest, but ethical considerations always captivate me. I focus on exploring morals and ethics and how they contribute to the greater good. I believe indirect functional art informs, advises, persuades, and reasons with spectators with the intention of transforming them into better beings, thus improving humanity. Indirect functional art encompasses achievements in the visual, literary, and performing arts: videos/films, books, illustrations, curricula, paradigms, etc.
