Melissa De Winter

Working from her home studio on the outskirts of Perth in Western Australia, Melissa is an artist driven by experimentation and a deep love for nature. Though she has explored various artistic mediums, her journey as an Apiarist led her to delve into the ancient art of encaustic painting.

By employing hot beeswax as her base medium, she discovered a unique way to blend structure with spontaneity, layering sketches and paintings into each piece. Committed to sustainability, Melissa often incorporates reused and recycled materials into her work, reflecting her dedication to making a minimal impact on the environment. Melissa loves sharing her process, so stop in for a chat and a demo or even a workshop for those who want a more in-depth experience.
