Melissa says of her work: ‘What you create is a reflection of who you are as well as how you think.’

Objects and styling are significant elements within Melissa’s practice with much of her professional life dedicated to styling interiors. It is the selection and placement of objects and the logic and calm found in this process which is integral to her aesthetic. Having grown up the daughter of an artist, most weekends for

Melissa were spent in her family’s studio or visiting galleries. This is where her eye for composition, colour and balance was intuitively learnt, and then finessed by years of study at art school many years after.

Harking back to Melissa’s homeland in Ireland her colour palette often deviates to the tones of the Irish coastline, a subconscious nod to home. Working by sight, she treads the tightrope between tension and harmony to create visual balance in both her subject matter and how it sits within the frame.

Melissa’s original artworks will be available to purchase in small quantities until sold out.
