BIOGRAPHY

DSC03201 - Copy.jpg

​​​​Mel Bling's love of nature combined with obsession with fine art, added to a definitive quirkiness all contributes to her addictive style, always with an end goal to enliven a sense of genuine optimism.

​

Born in Sydney, Mel creates dynamic works based on the natural world in black and white often with gold leaf or pops of colour. 

​

She lives with her two children and husband by the beach.

​

Mel 's goal is to resonate with people by connecting them to art they love, and to create works based on positivity.

​​

Mel has engaged in the study of painting since childhood, with oil as her primary medium of practice. Her multidisciplinary expertise extends to acrylics, sculpture, pyrography, drawing, photography, and watercolour, all of which she has explored through both formal education and independent study.

​​

​"A work of art doesn't have to be explained. If you do not have any feeling about this, I cannot explain it to you. If this doesn't touch you, I have failed."

Louise Bourgeois
