Based on the art piece she received, Melinda created the image called “Raw Boundaries”. Melinda is passionate about building up the confidence and self-love of women around her. Her love to capture the true form of the female form in honour to celebrate the rawness and beauty of each individual emerged from her own experience as a girl, woman, and mother. Melinda finds the raw form empowering as it sheds the pressures of society away. "Raw Boundaries” is all about being fully at peace with “no pressure, no rush” as Andres Arroyo has described in his artist statement. "Raw Boundaries" is about being you - in the flesh with nothing to cover or hide away, fully living and breathing, existing without judgement, socioeconomic status, or any other societal pressure we put ourselves under. A testimony to the mother, the woman, the wife, the human. We can all relate to one of these.
