About the artist
As an artist, curator and arts manager, Melanie has worked in multiple capacities within the arts industry.
Over the last decade she has developed her practice to incorporate finely detailed oil paintings and large-scale exterior murals. Examining our relationship with the botanical world around us with a focus on immortalising a sense of place, she uses native flora, colour and avian species to activate walls and canvases to draw attention to the fragility and vibrancy of our landscape.
About the work
A moody night scene under the watchful eye of the owl, using dark blue hues with larger-than-life native flora.
