Veronica Melendez

AUGUST 2023

Veronica Melendez is a visual artist based between Washington D.C. and Troy, NY. Through illustrations of iconic household products to photographs documenting the diaspora of Central Americans within the D.C. metro area, her work speaks to the broader theme of how we as humans create home. Having been raised in and around D.C within one of the largest Central American communities in the United States, her work serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of representation through art. Veronica is also a founder of La Horchata - an arts publication highlighting creatives from Central America and the Central American diaspora.  She is currently the Technical Instructor in Photography at Bennington College.
