About Mel

The area I work in is symbolic illustration with a strong influence of South American street art. Originally I'm from Panama City, Panama and came to the US and stayed in CO. I've lived in Colorado Springs my whole life since. My inspiration comes from kid's books, movies, music, and different cultures. Most of my time is spent creating new pieces, visiting galleries, and learning new ideas from older artists. Everyday is an opportunity to improve and grow in art, and it's the only thing that's watered my hopes and nurtured my perspective as a non traditional artist.
