ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A many-layered painting created over the course of a couple of years. Initially a simple watercolor portrait, I kept adding layers of light oil washes until I finished it with a very expressive drawing, releasing pent-up frustration with such a careful painting. This final layer pushed it into a new style, using the face as a ground for an abstract painting.

Melanie lives and works in rural North Carolina, outside of Asheville. Her work looks at portraiture from different angles and uses the face as a ground for abstraction and exploration of the psyche. The bold, expressive strokes in oil underscore the delicate ephemera of the watercolor.
