With a lifelong passion for the natural world and botany studies under her belt, Melinda expresses her love of nature and organic forms in her stylised landscapes. What started as an enjoyment of intricate watercolour plant studies, evolved into vivid, intricate, bolder acrylic pieces that have become a firm favourite in a number of states across Australia. Inspired by pattern, texture and adding in a quirky cartoon styling, Melinda shares the joy of the world around her. Even though Melinda has her roots firmly planted in the natural world which is her first passion, she is fascinated by the concept of how people in rural and urban communities relate to one and other and their environment. Melinda's work is an expression of her curiosity and reflects these relationships in a way that is highly relatable. Melindas work is immediately identifiable and takes a unique position on what it is to be Australian.
