I remember my first college Documentary Art class; once the teacher said “drawing on site” I was terrified, but became hooked soon after learning the beauty of capturing people and places on the spot. Since then, I’ve been invited to several events to draw people, including Fashion Forward at The Metropolitan here in New York City.

Here are 10 Questions for Melanie Gonzalez:
Inspired by religious iconography, gold jewelry, and hair rollers, art photographer & videographer Melanie Gonzalez created the art project Discount Saints.
