Melena Orleans is an illustrator and creative from Washington, D.C., now based in Edinburgh. Her work takes her strange childhood obsessions like medieval instruments and pin-up girls and turns them into brightly coloured riso prints.
Melena's work is infused with whimsy, from illustrating an imaginary gallery display from the collections at St. Cecilia's Hall to her art toy pitch that reconstructs how we view fat bodies. Candid and curious, she's content if her work brings a smile or raises an eyebrow.
