Artist Statement:
Melissa returned to Taranaki 9 years ago, bringing a passion for creativity and a degree in Fine Arts, with a background in Applied Art and Design. Inspired by nature, the beach, and the changing play of light, her work celebrates the beauty of the natural world. She is exploring a freer, more expressive style, using palette knives and recycled materials to create texture, movement, and a sense of spontaneity.
