The majority of her years spent in hospital public relations and marketing, with the balance working for local newspapers. A Florida State University graduate from the School of Visual Arts, she has always felt fortunate to have a career as an artist. Photography has always been her passion, having purchased her first camera at the age of 11 with proceeds from selling Christmas cards. Transferring from dark room photography to digital almost 10 years ago has enabled Melinda to combine her love of photography with her many years of experience in graphic art. She feels “Digital art is the same as other more traditional art… it is just created with a different tool. Art is about the visions of the artist, not the tools that were used to create it.”
