ABOUT MELODY

Melody Kratz, owner and artist of Studio of Art in Forest Park, IL.

I am passionate about art and have always been drawn to it. Painting, in particular, has been my artistic pursuit. I love the process of moving paint, creating intricate textures, exploring values and shapes, and bringing images to life. Art is an integral part of my daily existence, and I would love to share my passion with you.
