Maine artist
Melani is always willing to experiment with new styles and techniques to make concepts into visual realities.
Working in multiple media including all kinds of painting, drawing, clay and glass, Melani shows an appreciation for the Natural World. Pastorals, vistas, shorelines, water in motion, animals / wildlife are among her subjects of choice. Palettes are rich and multilayered, drawing the viewer closer. Her intent is to create art to be lived with and journeyed through. Some compositions come directly from actual places and subjects, others from imaginary realms - lands, scenery, and the creatures of myths, fantasies, and dreams.
Artworks By Melani creates art to "grow on you" - becomer dearer with time. It is the artist’s sincere hope that they inspire and delight.
Artist Statement: I believe that Art can speak directly - It doesn't have to assume or presume... it simply speaks its own truth. Art can be fanciful or realistic. It can tell a story, create an illusion, or simply present a reality.
I work comfortably in diverse mediums... Oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, pen & inks, and all manner of drawing tools. My style is impressionistic or representational depending on the subject, my mood, and the commissioner's preferences. My fine arts work generally reflects Nature. My Graphic Arts work reflects my client.
