In this episode, I sit down with Melo Dominguez, a Tucson artist who was inspired by graffiti art and cartoons as a child growing up in a rough neighborhood in East Los Angeles. Mel's difficult childhood didn't stop them from pursuing their dream of being an artist. We talk about their struggles, successes, their connection to their community, and how they bring joy to everything they do. Check out their work and learn about their gallery, Galeria Mitotera, at melodominguez.com.
