My name is Melanie. From a very young age, I have been interested in drawing and personally developing my own techniques and have been drawing for 42 years. Although I took four years of art in high school, my education did not extend past graduation. Therefore I consider myself entirely self-taught.

The faces seen here may be better known in some countries or areas, but in a general sense they are lesser known or have fallen entirely into obscurity. It is always a great joy to me to discover these people, so much so that I am often inspired to draw them. An even greater pleasure is later discovering these same people were often humble and kind. And so I draw them with much care and love. I sincerely hope their sweetness is reflected in my drawings of them.
