Melissa Ortiz

Based in New York, NY

​

Born and Raised in New Milford, New Jersey I was very accustomed to the small town life. But in 2019 I took the stride and move to New York City to study Photography. My work represents the foundation provided and what I have built over the years. This includes the emotional growth I have been able to demonstrate through my photography. Each piece is a genre of storytelling through different facets, from surrealism, sewing, and writing, no emotion is left unexpressed or ignored. My creativity represents the moments I have explored to expand my horizons, by using multiple tools to experiment ways on expressing emotions. I look forward to opening that world for other people to express and feel safe.
