Check out an exhibit highlight digital art by a local artist. The artist reception for “Digital Doodles” with artist Diana Mellar is Friday, Aug. 17, at 5:30 p.m. at the Norman Williams Public Library in Woodstock. The show runs through Sept. 30.
Digital art is a medium that allows for great transformation. The possibilities are endless. Diana is often surprised by what flows from her Apple Pencil onto her iPad. It often feels like magic. Who doesn’t want to play with magic? Working in this medium has lit Mellar’s imagination on fire.
She finds inspiration in playing around with shapes, patterns and color. She sometimes edits photographs using computer technology, but mostly, she paints onto her digital canvas. Diana uses several apps in her process, and some of her favorites include Procreate and Enlight.
Mellar grew up in Chelsea, Vermont, and resides in South Royalton. She’s the administrative manager at ArtisTree Community Arts Center in South Pomfret.
