2023 Oklahoma Arts Conference

"Promise in the Road Ahead"

Melody Allen
Melody Allen is an artist based in Tulsa who specializes in acrylic and watercolor paintings. She has been exploring the world of acrylic paint markers for the past two years. Allen's creative process consists of getting lost in her imagination and translating that imaginary world through art. Her subject matter is often expressed through animals painted in colorful palettes and clouds. Occasionally, her inner comic book fan comes out. Allen's imagery is often inspired by anime, comic strips, and, more recently, books. She is currently reading through "Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Lord of the Rings."
