Melanie Rossiter

I am an abstract artist with a love of bold, bright and vibrant colours that evoke feelings of joy, playfulness, spontaneity, mystery and surprise. My intention is to invite these feelings and energies into your day. I have been fortunate to travel extensively and this at times influences parts of my work. With layered paintings I work intuitively and allow the painting to show me where it wants to go. This allows creative mystery and surprise in the outcome. I have always loved painting and sold a painting at a school fete to an artist who happened to be there by chance! He told my school at the time that I should keep painting and although I took the performance artist and theatre route instead I always had urges to paint throughout my earlier years. Having had 2 children and some health issues it was a great opportunity to pick up a paint brush and I have been painting ever since! I hope you enjoy my work.
