Melanie Sky is a contemporary artist living and working on Djaara Country in Maldon, Victoria, Australia.

With a childhood deeply influenced by art, dance, and music, surrounded by the bush in coastal NSW, on Darkinjung Country, Sky developed a profound appreciation of nature. Drawing on her inherent energetic connection with the Australian environment, she channels her passion for movement and the interplay of nature and colour into material-led practice.

Check out my latest work from ‘Fuelling the Flames’

‘Fuelling the Flames’ explores the profound beauty, resilience and power of Australian bushfires through abstracted aerial landscapes using vivid colours and textures. Inspired by the forces of nature the collection of paintings and woodblock print collages capture the destructive force of the flames and the fuel that powers them.
