ARTIST NUMBA THIRTEEN: Melissa Castrillon

I love the artwork of Melissa Castrillon. Her imagination is absolutely beautiful, and her drawings are crafted in a way that takes you even deeper into fantasy-land. They are people who are living in a world beyond ours, with cars growing out of trees, dresses that make you fly into the air, and tiny people that live on quilts. It is absolutely enchanting to see the use of talent and creativity together, and her style could be described along the lines of folk art.
I particularly appreciate Castrillon's use of spot color in her art. She uses techniques that I love (ink with spots of bright orange/red) to brighten a possibly dull piece.
