Keen on art from childhood, Melanie has painted outdoors from life for most of her artistic career, strongly believing that this is the key to becoming a successful landscape painter. Most of her work is based on light and colour, capturing the essence of a location rather than every last detail. In order to remain fresh as an art tutor, Melanie feels it is important to retain her main role as a landscape painter developing her own work and ideas and aims to take part in several exhibitions each year in order to progress her own work.
Also an established author currently writing her fourth art instruction book for Collins. As a tutor she runs workshops and painting holidays in the UK and abroad, teaching mainly in oils and acrylics.
Melanie is a founder member of the Maritime Art Group, a professional associate of the SAA and an exhibiting member of the Guilford Art Society.
