Melissa A. Torres

Originally from Newburgh, NY, I moved to San Antonio in 1997. After working 12 years as an ER Nurse, art became a way of escaping reality and releasing the frustration that came with working in such a stressful environment. Primarily self-taught, my paintings are largely acrylics and oils. You can see my Puerto Rican heritage in my art and my favorite paintings to do are pet portraits.
