Melanie Caple
About the artist
Melanie graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Painting) from RMIT and holds a Masters of Arts Management.
Over the last decade she has developed her practice to incorporate finely detailed oil paintings and large-scale exterior murals. Examining our relationship with the botanical world around us with a focus on immortalising a sense of place, she uses native flora, colour and avian species to activate walls and canvases to draw attention to the fragility and vibrancy of our landscape.
I am inspired by the landscape of the [Port Phillip] bay and enjoy painting flora and birds of the area.
