Melodie Acero
Halls Island Artist Residency is excited to welcome Melodie and her artistic collaborators Lindsay Hobbs and Alyssa Graybeal.
Melodie Acero was born and raised in Haliburton, where she loved building fern forts and making arts & crafts. She went on to study photography in Mexico, fashion in Toronto, fine-art in Vancouver, and teaching in Colorado. Acero values creativity, adventure, and studying. As an explorer of the arts and education, Acero has taken to writing children's stories designed to spark imagination (the brain's highest cognitive function) and to guide our littlest ones through their developmental growth. She has taught preschoolers to college students and loves passing on her investigations and observations of the world.
