Melanie Delgado’s paintings have been described as explosive, wildly playful and bold. Melanie started painting in her early 30’s. While living in California she met her now husband, Marc Delgado. He wondered why she wasn’t making any art of her own. She had worked her whole life looking for ways to help children express themselves. Now Melanie paints in her basement in Glenford, NY. Before moving to Glenford, she lived at the Byrdcliffe Artist Colony for three years. She discovered R&F Pigment Sticks while taking her one and only painting class at the Woodstock School of Art. Soon after that she starting instructing a class for teen artists at the school. Melanie feels her momentum and continued commitment to painting is a direct result of her connection to the community. She’s participated in many group shows in Woodstock, Kingston and Yonkers. Melanie has also had a few solo gigs.
What students are saying:
“I’m so happy that I signed up for this class. Melanie’s encouragement and meditative approach to working in a variety of mediums is exactly what the doctor ordered for the perfect way to start the week and the New Year. 💫 Hearing Melanie talk to the class as she pushes and pulls at each piece is so helpful, especially if you are needing to figure out how to begin (again). Wonderful insights and a playful yet thoughtful approach to the work of creating is so helpful for anyone struggling to find their way through the creative process. Thank you, Melanie. You’re a treasure. 🎨” -WSA Student
