Hi, my name is Melissa Hernandez. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, with ancestry in the Dominican Republic. I am an aspiring practicing artist who's advancing to manifest art projects or a body of work that inspires and empowers others to 'grow and plant seeds' for positive change.
My work focuses on secular virtues, human capabilities, and simple truths; it embodies notions of a garden as it relates to cultivating growth and nourishment. I am an indirect functional, Artist-Philosopher and Visual Writer creating a fictitious world to advocate secular virtues.
I've completed my Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from Florida Atlantic University concentrating, for the most part, on drawing and painting in 2011; I graduated magna cum laude, with a general GPA of 3.5/ 4.0 and 3.7 in my major. Moreover, I graduated from the Educator Preparation Institute at Broward College; I received a Florida's Graduate Professional Teaching Certificate for mastery of Professional Preparation and Education Expertise.
And as a member of The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS), I aspire to become an influential leading artist. I hope to help and/or positively inspire other leaders, advocates, and the community at large.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
• practicing and modeling appropriate behavior & leadership
• emphasizing the importance of group culture & diversity
• working towards behavioral and academic excellence
• evaluating emotional and empirical data, and seeking truth and virtue to promote human flourishing
• most importantly, empowering the general public's creativity/inventiveness through exploring and experimenting with visual art-making
SKILLS:
• Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
• Diplomacy, Tact, and Credibility
• Effective Written & Verbal Communication
EXHIBITIONS:
2022 • FEMINA ONLINE GROUP EXHIBITION
