Melody Ann Potter is an accomplished artist, born in the Adirondacks and now residing in Richmond. Melody has a degree in fine arts from SUNY Potsdam and an interior design degree from Villa Maria College of Buffalo. She finds inspiration from the surrounding mountains and lakes, from the human condition and from her adventures around the world. She pulls from these experiences to create works of art using layers of tissue paper to create a 3-Dimensional picture. She finishes using ink to highlight the forms and color, bringing them to life. Her oil paintings are snapshots into the everyday lives of people. See her work on the Library walls during the months of July and August.
