I love the way Melissa captures movement in her paintings, in both water and other natural elements. I also rather enjoy how Melissa has categorized her photographs into a variety of elements, such as water, wood and earth. Her fascination with texture remains clear throughout her body of work, such as the movement of waves echoed in sand or stone.
Melissa’s photographs are usually left as is, though sometimes the artist adds manipulation to create a high contrast, almost painted look. The artist’s paintings are primarily abstract, though they also have elemental subject matter. The artist uses well blended flashes of colour to create both fire and water.
