Melanie’s paintings create a narrative through the momentary qualities of light and colour, with inspiration flowing from her deep love of wildlife and the vibrant hues of nature.
Melanie’s artistry is defined by her meticulous attention to detail and her unique approach to realism. Using fine detailed brushwork and layers of oil paint on wooden panels or Belgian linen, she achieves a lifelike quality in her work. However, her paintings do not fall into the category of Photorealism; instead, she strives to obtain realism through the illusion of detail. Each piece reflects her endeavour to communicate an emotional connection with her natural surroundings.
