View Melinda's Website

Melinda was born in Australia in 1969, and in her twenties, she married and moved to the US, where she has been residing with her husband and children ever since. 
Growing up, artistic creativity had always been encouraged from a family who have a background in the arts.  Melinda's growth in art lay dormant while raising her children, though recently has evolved into a passion of oil painting to date. 
Melinda has had art instruction from two fine artists and friends alike,Valerie Aune and her late husband, Dharbinder Bamrah.
Melinda uses various mediums, although her favourite medium of choice is oil.

   ARTIST STATEMENT
 I find painting as an ingrained outlet from God as a form of expressing my inner self. 
The art I create is inspired by beauty, diversity and rich history behind fine art ; The endless freedom of interpretation; The creative process and the application of medium(s)....
Art is a reflection of life ....I love art!
