Melanie Graham  

Artist Statement:

Melanie Graham produces a unique and contemporary style that touches the soul. Her endless landscapes, dramatic seascapes, and sweeping skies focus on the sheer and raw beauty of space and nature.

Her major love of vibrant colours and vivid knife or brush strokes, are illustrated on the canvas by dramatic hues chosen entirely by mood.

She is deeply inspired by the sea, and wild weather, holidays in Cornwall and Scotland, the Lake District and anywhere with endless vistas.

Melanie works on artist quality canvas', and the paints are deeply textured and high grade.

Melanie Graham studied at Nottingham University BA (Hons) and Cardiff University MSc (Econ), and has travelled widely at home and abroad.

Her studio is located in Nottingham, UK, and her work is held in private collections worldwide from the Falkland Islands to New Zealand, Canada to India.
