Melanie Ducharme's work expresses memory, emotion, and identity. Like images from a visual journal, her artworks range from vague and surreal to powerful and clear. Ducharme's identity is her work and her work is identity.

Ducharme has been exhibiting her work since 2001. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in graphic design and letterform from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth and is studying for her Master’s in art education at Rhode Island College. She is an artist member of Gallery X, a cooperative art gallery in New Bedford, and she is a contributing member of the PopIcon and Cocktail Club podcast.
