Melissa Mamukic - artist – colour me KWIRKY
The words “colour” and “kwirky” are good words to describe Melissa, both as a person and an artist. Melissa loves to use colour and is known for her bright & kwirky style. Melissa’s goal is to create colourful & kwirky artworks that everyone can enjoy.
Melissa started painting in her teenage years and enjoyed both art & ceramics while at school. However, life took her in another direction, as a mum to her beautiful daughter, Taylor. Twenty years later, she returned to art and Colour me KWIRKY was born from Melissa’s desire to share her works.
Although Melissa had lessons in her early years, she is a largely self-taught artist, with a style that is constantly developing. She is excited to learn something, every time she creates a new piece. She expresses herself through her art and loves to explore the use of shapes & styles, as well as colour.
Melissa was born in Canberra and still calls it home. While she loves spending time with her daughter, a walk with her dog, a wine in the evening and laughter with friends, she loves art … in all its forms. She may paint an animal character one day, some still life the next day and a portrait piece after that … and she loves them all.
Melissa loves to make people smile, so if selling her artworks makes someone happy, then she is happy … simple!
