Forest to the Sea

In Forest to the Sea, Melinda presents evocative oil paintings that reflect her continuing reverence for the natural world and strong interest in colour. She gains inspiration for her paintings from the geometry and hues of Australian tree life, big coastal skies, seasonal colour changes and the shifting light throughout the day. In the studio, her paintings are developed, refined, and abstracted to reflect an emotive response to both sensory memories of the places she encounters in her walks and wanderings, and to the act of painting itself. The finished paintings appear like dreamscapes of the imagination, evoking a universal sense of landscape.
