Self-taught, ambitious, and ever-evolving, Melita started her artistic journey as early as she can remember, drawing nearly every day and rarely satisfied. Still a bit of a troublemaker, as a young child she'd even taken to hiding a reserve of pencils and paper under her pillow for those times when she'd be banished to her room. Now a mother of 4 boys, she longs to be grounded to her room, but finds the time to produce photo-realistic portraits and whimsical color pop art. One thing is for certain, Melita's journey is far from over.
