Melinda Dalke
I am a Naive Folk artist living in Turner, Oregon. I share my life with 7 beautiful cats, 2 incredible dogs and a wonderful husband. I am originally from Las Vegas, Nevada. In 1993, I graduated from the Community College of Southern Nevada with an Associates Degree in Graphic Arts.
I try and donate at least one painting a month to animal charity fundraisers. I am a founding member of Art Helping Animals, an online group of artists that donates a percentage of our art sales to animal charities.
I like to approach each painting differently, some call my art Naive Folk other Impressionism. I enjoy all types of mediums: watercolor, acrylic, ink, mixed media, pastel and colored pencil-my favorite being watercolor on Yupo paper. I love to bring a bit of my personality to all of my art. My main subject is animals, which are a huge part of my life.
