Art by Mel

I live with chronic pain. After a surgery several years ago, I was doodling. I created a very detailed, intricate abstract drawing. I showed it to some family members and they liked it. I soon created many of these drawings. The interesting thing about some of them is that random images seem to appear from them. Others, I add some images for interest and hide them in the drawing. The surgery failed and I had to find ways to distract myself from the pain. I learned how to use a camera. My oldest son taught me how to use a computer and I soon taught myself how to use editing programs. I combine photography and my unique style of art to create some interesting things. Enjoy!
