Artist Statement
Born in England in 1966 and as a child emigrated to Australia with her family. She started exhibiting in 1997 and became a founding member of the Maranatha Art Group, Darwin 1999.
Now living in rural Sydney overlooking the Hawkesbury River, Mellissa continues to refine her painting style & techniques, and ranges between vibrant flower & bird acrylics, textural abstracts and intricate woodcuts. Her combination of quirkiness and calm blend to create works with a strong spiritual base.
Mellissa writes… “Being made in the image of The Creator, I believe we all have an innate ability to create. To reflect upon is ‘whatever is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, virtuous &, praiseworthy’ , is a discipline we are often distracted from in this world.
