Melissa’s work explores a wide variety of mediums and processes. She loves the individual outcomes of using different materials, allowing the spirit of the piece to find its own voice, her inspiration coming from nature, the sea, animals and birds. She creates both large and small sculptures, mainly in wire, for garden and home; loves print-making; and a developing thread of making mixed-media vessels and wall-hangings using recycled materials and found objects, giving a sense of place.
