Melissa Pepe

About the Artist:

 

My name is Melissa Pepe but sometimes I also go by Missy or MissMissy. I was recently married to my high school sweetheart after fifteen years of dating.  My maiden name was Melissa Smith.   I am currently 31 years old. I studied graphic design in my magnet high school Advanced Technologies Academy or Atech for short and received an Associates Degree in Computer Graphic Design from the College of Southern Nevada. I am currently returning to school at UNLV to continue studying Computer Graphic Design to obtain a bachelor’s degree.  I will graduate Fall 2020.   I use digital media for some of my art such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.  I also use traditional mediums such as colored pencil and water color. 

 

My interest in art began at an early age.  My mother reminds me of using a broken mouse on our old Mac computer using Freehand and KidsWorks.   I started my paper doll blog in 2012 to share my collection and my artwork.  I currently working at a library where I’ve been employed for 10 years now and work on art in my free time.  I enjoy creating characters, illustrations, costume design, logos, and posters. I am learning motion graphics and love creating dress up games but I’m still new at programing them.
