I am a multidisciplinary artist,

director and textile designer based in Brooklyn, NY. I started to paint as early as age four and my art practice and creativity has always been one of the most important parts of my life! I received my BA(Hons) 3D Design & Material Practice degree from University of Brighton in the UK and my MFA degree in Textile Design from the School of fashion at Academy of Art University in San Francisco!

My artistic language doesn’t belong to a specific group of people, a specific gender or a specific nation! It is a universal language! As an artist who has lived around the world and experienced the oneness of the world, my work is a bridge between gaps! My vision and my art smooth out the sharp lines, borders and boxes!

In the world obsessed with speed, my art grew very organically! Day by day with patience, practice and love towards humanity!

To be able to capture the amount of details I paint

To tap into the untouched and translate it to visual vocabulary

And to let the inspiration flow into my pen, camera or my body

I had to learn patience

I had to draw and create for hours, days, weeks and months seamlessly

Today I am honored to be able to empower others with this gift I have

During her BA (Hons) Degree in art and design practice at University of Brighton in the UK, Melody explored working with different materials such as ceramics, metal , polymer and wood. This led her to gain experience of making ceramic sculptures, metal jewelry pieces and furniture design!
