28 years young, Melissa Brunner (she/her) is a Deaf, Queer, and Disabled visual artist. Melissa’s artistry explores the interplay of evoking emotions in portraits with the magic of colours. She is known for her insightful watercolour portraits that capture subtle nuances in mood. In 2021, her artwork was featured alongside Deaf artists in an online exhibition named Deaf Interiors. In 2022, Melissa was awarded 2 grant fundings towards her professional + artistic development. From there, Melissa glowed up in her artist identity and is on her way to making her creative mark through her humour and intuition.
With Sync Leadership, I am enthusiastic to unlock the tools I need to grow in my creativity and to celebrate diverse talents by connecting with other Deaf, Disabled, and Neurodivergent leaders within the Arts industry across Canada.
