Our stable of portrait artists include:
Mel Bling
Mel Bling creates from her home studio and while she really enjoys the experimental aspects of her practice she also alternates her practice to more conventional methods of wood burning (pyrography), charcoals and oils. Her style is incredibly detailed and amazes viewers. Her finish is chic and stylish. Her favourite palette combinations include, gold, silver and monochromatic greyscale.
Bling’s goal is to resonate with people by connecting them to art they love, and to create works based on positivity
Commissions are welcome. Contact us in the gallery to discuss your next project or email bling@kabgallery.com.au or call 1300 78 7773 to speak about it over the phone.
