about

Melissa takes inspiration from her connection to nature to create distinctive abstract compositions.She is looking to balance impulsive and deliberate visual language as she works intuitively across the surface.

'Paintings emerge in their own time as I search to bring elements into harmony. As work progresses I consider how the individual components dance together to create the whole.'

Each artwork evolves organically through layers of rhythmic brushstrokes and expressive mark-making using a combination of acrylic paint and other media.

‘I love the strong, often visceral sensations that abstract art evokes.’

By observing the richness of layering, colour and surface, viewers are invited to connect on an emotional level and observe the energy and essence of each piece.

'Ultimately I want to share the joy of existence through my art.’
