Melodye Mitchell’s passion for artistic expression surfaced late in life after retiring from civil service in the state and federal governments for nearly 50 years. Painting began as a curiosity and blossomed into a full blown passion.
She is currently a student at Anne Arundel Community College. She is drawn to still life, portraiture and landscape painting and more recently into cold wax and oil abstract design. Her attention to detail lends itself to creating a realistic style. While she enjoys working in charcoal and pastels, her preferred medium is oil. In 2020 she opened Melodye Mitchell Studio which enables her to infuse art with her former career as a Teacher and Program Manager. She is dedicated to teaching and inspiring others to find their inner self through artistic expression.
