Melodie Douglas

A self taught artist, born and rasied in the Fraser Valley currently residing in Abbotsford BC, started embracing her artistic talents in 1995 when she was first introduced to decorative art and tole painting.  From there she went on to open up a Painting Studio/retail store, where she taught various techniques related to decorative art using acrylic paints and painting on a variety of surfaces.

 Wanting to develop her skills further she took various drawing classes at UFV both in graphite and charcoal.

Her current medium of choice is soft pastels, which she first started in 2005.  She immediately was hooked on the medium, both for the ease of use and beautiful vibrant colors.
