Article & photos by Melodie Yvonne
I am honored to have been selected as a 2024-2026 Creative Renewal Arts Fellow, an Indy Arts Council program supported by Lilly Endowment, Inc. Through this incredible opportunity, I embarked on a transformative journey to reconnect with my artistic foundation and push the boundaries of my creative expression. My creative renewal journey was an epic cross-country road trip to rediscover my photography and literary roots. Please enjoy the shots below from one of my favorite stays on this adventure, Palo Duro Canyon, and stay tuned for more from my life on the road SOON!
