Mellissa Read Devine portrays the natural world in a glorious kaleidoscope of colour, shape and texture – ‘For me, painting is all about the process; I enjoy the dance of mark making with strong sweeps of direction and tone that are eventually tamed into more representational imagery. With an electric palette and layered application of brush strokes I portray a vivid interpretation of the landscape around me. I invite the viewer to see the Australian bush through a vibrant and optimistic vision of colour and light.’
