About

image2 (1)_edited.jpg

Melanie Schaefer is a 22 year old artist and content creator based in Cleveland, Ohio.

Her work largely focuses on creating an energetic approach to themes of identity, nostalgia, and girlhood. Bold shapes, signature stars, and bright colors explode onto her canvases, whether digital or traditional. Melanie tends to gravitate towards expressionistic art pieces and intends on exploring more of her innermost qualities of identity through her work. 
Outside of studio works, she strives to create interesting and new digital illustrations and character designs. She is particularly interested in gaming and entertainment as well as working collaboratively with other artists. Melanie's high work ethic is one of the most impressive skills she has, as she is extremely dedicated to each of her projects and always wishes to improve.
