Article & photos by Melodie Yvonne
As a 2024-2026 Creative Renewal Arts Fellow, an Indy Arts Council program supported by Lilly Endowment, Inc., 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 a collection of glorious stops including a breath taking New Mexico rest area sunset, the World’s largest Flip Flop in San Jon, Parker Dam, and more and stay tuned for more from my life on the road SOON! Learn more about the Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship and the 50 artists and arts administrators who were selected at IndyArts.org/grants/creative-renewal-arts-fellowship.
