Melissa Koby

Melissa Koby is a Jamaican-born, Tampa-based illustrator. Visual art has always been her passion and her default way of self-healing, The people in her artwork are faceless because she wants everyone to be able to see themselves in each piece. She wants to normalize looking past the color of skin and wants each viewer to focus on how the art itself makes them feel. All of her artwork is created using a combination of watercolor painting and digital illustration (Photo credit: Ashlee Hamon).
