Meet Melanie

About: Melanie has had a passion for art since she was younger. She taught herself how to paint by watching YouTube videos. She is now able to create a masterpiece on her own, often exhibiting her work at the local fall art show.

When Melanie isn’t painting, she is working or volunteering at Paws and Claws. Her volunteer work includes playing with the cats.

The Story Behind Her Artwork: Melanie enjoys art because it’s relaxing.

“You get to create your own thing,” said Melanie. “You don’t have to have someone demonstrate what you need to do.”

Melanie loves to draw what she envisions. Through the ArtAbilities program, she hopes to meet new people and learn different art techniques.

Other Interests: Melanie enjoys hanging out with her roommates, horseback riding, and planting flowers.
