The Rev. Dr. Melody Bellefeuille-Frost is an artist, theologian, and minister from Canada. In 2026, she became the Arts Administrator and Associate Curator of the Dal Schindell Gallery at Regent College.

Through her artistic practice, Melody makes mixed-media collages that often explore themes of journey and home. The layered materials are gathered from and transported between various locations. The collages may reference mapped or imagined places while also suggesting portability, juxtaposition, and (re)contextualization. For Melody, such artmaking is a method of navigating transience and rootedness, with collages becoming milestones or havens along the way. These spaces invite viewers to contemplate their own journeys and the possibility of sacred encounter.

Melody completed a PhD in Divinity through the Institute for Theology, Imagination and the Arts at the University of St Andrews. Her research examined visual theology in intercultural contexts, with a particular focus on images of Christ in 16th- and 17th-century European Jesuit and Japanese Christian religious visual cultures. As a result, she developed the concept of visual missiology and drew out the theological aspects of Japanese Christian art objects in their historical, intercultural context. She also holds an MA in Intercultural Studies (emphasis in Worship, Theology, and the Arts) from Fuller Theological Seminary and a BA in Applied Linguistics from Moody Bible Institute.

Melody is an ordained minister with the Wesleyan Church.
