Hi, my name is Mely and I am pleased to share with you my journey in art.
I live in a cottage in South East Queensland and when I am not creating and working, my partner and I are travelling our beautiful country in our Slide-On Camper.
Colours and nature inspire me. Travelling around the deserts, the bush, the outback and beaches; and enjoying the birds, insects and animals lifts me and excites me. My beautiful country inspires me.
I have always enjoyed creating with materials and coloured threads to create quilts, craft and clothing. My journey into using Acrylic Paints is a recent one, but a very exciting one. Just as nature is full of diversity and surprises, when I create an artwork using the technique of acrylic flow, I love how different surprises pop out each time. Adding embroidery or textiles to my artwork is my way of enjoying a combination of both techniques resulting in a truly unique piece each time.
Experimenting with new art styles is similar to exploring the vast contrasts of our beautiful country and brings me closer to it when I can’t be on the road. As I keep learning and journeying in my art, I am reminded of the journeys still to come when I can again be travelling and embracing all that nature has to offer in this stunning country.
Mely
