Melanie de Boehmler
Born in Sydney, NSW , 1971
A lifetime of traveling and living in Australian and New Zealand bushland, countryside, and several years in the Big Smoke, has had a deep impact on me, my love of nature and the fascination I have for its many creatures (human and otherwise).
The paintings I produce are a kind of instinctive homage to these precious lands that I hold so dear, and a life lived colourful; while the drawings/works on paper are an indulgence for my love of spontaneous character invention.
Although the styles and themes of my paintings and drawings may come out very differently, the intuitive process I engage to produce them is the same; subjects have been conjured from my imagination and what feels right according to instinct, memories, and my own rather warped sense of humour. Melancholy, movement, fine rendering and the absurd may all feature.
