The Story
Hello! I'm Melanie.
I grew up in country WA in the 80’s/90’s and since forever I've been a crafter. Every.Single.Craft.
I studied Fashion Design and Fine Art briefly. Then in my 20’s I travelled South East Asia and my aesthetic was born. Colour, tribal, Indian, bohemian, global design. I now live in Scarborough, Western Australia. I am a primary teacher support and facilitator of art workshops.
I began painting Mandalas about 14 years ago. With twin babies and a toddler at the time, the peacefulness of the creation was so necessary in my life. I've been selling my paintings for about 10 years.
I've developed my art from practice, and attending workshops whenever I can to learn from others. Ubud, Kalgoorlie, Margaret River & Thailand. I will travel anywher to get my creative endorphins hit!
I've become a bower bird and sporadically retail things I have discovered on my site and at Farmers Markets. Like my baskets from Myanmar, textiles from India, and charms from Thailand. Keep an eye of my Instagram for these treasures.
Thanks for visiting my site. Mel x
