Firstly a big hello! My name is Melanie. Thanks for checking out my gallery. I was born in Blacktown, Sydney Australia and was raised on the beautiful coast of Sussex Inlet NSW up until I started high school then moved with my family up to the sunshine state of QLD. Art has always been a part of my life from a very young age. My artistic genes however, I believe came from my family who were always very resourceful in the creativity side of things . I have gained many of my skills from numerous creative fields such as photography, design, photo editing, ceramics, pottery and sculpting to name a few but have always felt most content with a paint brush in my hand as it allowed me to relay what I see and feel onto a canvas. Much of my work changes in genre as I am one of those types who explores style - I don't limit my abilities. For me art is all about colour, emotion, design and expression. I hope my art shows you a glimpse of my world as crazy or as beautiful as that may be - I'll let you decide xx
