Creating from the In-Between

Mel creates from the quiet spaces found within life's beautiful chaos—a practice where art becomes both peace and purpose. Her creative path started in her grandmother's studio, then led her through careers as a photographer and an interior designer.

In her early 30s, navigating motherhood and life's unexpected turns, a brain tumor became her most profound teacher. This journey cultivated a fierce clarity about what truly matters, shaping her perspective and deepening her resilience. Through every challenge, creativity has been her loyal companion.

Using pencil, watercolour, ink & clay, her art is an act of self-exploration, finding its balance in the quiet of solitude and the enduring rhythms of both the natural world and the internal self.

Her work is guided by one quiet truth: we are not defined by our stories, but by how we transform them into something beautiful.

Here, vulnerability meets pigment, offering an invitation to embrace our perfectly imperfect humanness, one delicate layer at a time.
