Melanie's Bio
I have been creating for most of my life in one art form or another. Currently my focus is on Mixed Media Fabric Collage. Creating has been a healing tool; one that has sewn the wounds from the pain and turmoil of life. At times it also has been an expression of joy.
I am a published mixed media artist who has been teaching workshops for more than 12 years.
Artist Statement – Melanie Phillips
Art for me is a reflection of who I am, a personal statement of what is, and sometimes a creative flow uninhibited by thought or planning. Creating is a healing tool for self and others.
When I was younger creating was for me. Now I clearly see how it touches others as well. It is my desire that my works will spark hope, love, joy, thoughts and a sense of freedom within, for those who view it.
