About the Artist
![Picture](/uploads/2/8/7/3/28730399/85097.jpg?196)
My name is Melissa Duffy, I’m in my first year of college, and I've been drawing ever since I could pick up a crayon. My first real art class was during my freshmen year of high school, where I was introduced to drawing in my favorite media: pen and ink. That year, I also began working at a photography and video studio nearby, where I have been learning and developing new skills. I became a studio mentor, and in my free time I did photo shoots with my friends. I also took extra art classes outside of school and work. I currently work in IT at my college as a video support specialist.
I love any and every form of art and also do pottery, write, act, paint, and create as much as I can in my free time. I want to inspire others with my work and find myself in my work. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Enjoy!
