CONTEMPORARY ART STOCKROOM Melanie McCollin Walker

Melanie McCollin-Walker’s artistic journey began whilst growing up on the island of Barbados. Always the wanderer, it is Melanie’s nomadic lifestyle which has been a major source of inspiration. She relies on her innate sensibilities, using a combination of memory, observation and emotion to create her work. The landscape provides the framework within which the artist’s journey takes place with each painting providing a window into her subconscious, whilst also challenging the viewer to delve deeper into their own. Her subtle and painterly technique and meticulous and painstaking layering, create atmospheric, light-filled, dramatic work, which provide a sense of place whilst simultaneously evoking both mystery and curiosity.

A career highlight came in 2013 when McCollin-Walker was invited to be part of a Ned Kelly inspired exhibition at the Australian High Commission in Singapore, where she was tasked with telling Kelly’s story from a landscape prospective. Melanie’s work is represented in private and public collections internationally.
