About Me
"Thank you for taking the time to explore my artwork. My focus is on capturing the natural beauty of my surroundings through painting. I have both a studio in Perth, and I enjoy painting en plein-air, which allows me to fully immerse myself in the natural world. With over three decades of experience as an artist, I use a subtle tonal colour palette in my paintings to create a sense of harmony and tranquility for those who view them.
As an award-winning artist, I am honored to have my artwork owned by private collectors and businesses both in Australia and internationally. My paintings are exhibited in five gallery rooms at the renowned John St Cafe in Cottesloe, Perth, which I personally curate. Additionally, my artwork can be found on exhibit at Aspects of Kings Park, located in the Kings Park Botanic Gardens in Perth.
If you have any questions regarding my artwork, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you again for your interest in my passion." Jen Mellor
