Melissa Dumas is a mostly self taught artist and illustrator based in Charlotte, NC. Outside of my full time job as a picture framer (all framed pieces are framed by me :)), I spend my time drawing, painting and crafting pieces with a flora and fauna and memento mori influence. I also spend time learning about animation, photography, and print making. I enjoy spending time in nature, exploring cemeteries and flower gardens, and reading horror themed comics and graphic novels.
