Fueled by her passion for all things interesting and quirky, Mel Bling’s art is full of energy and charm. She is incredibly talented and has a gifted ability to create realistic representations with a playful edge. Much like her personality, her artwork invites viewers to connect with its innate jest. Bling skillfully paints subjects that bring together Australian culture, nostalgia, wildlife and fine art. From a lobster wearing a floatie, a seagull stealing designer glasses at the beach and a shark named “Chomp’, there is a whimsical sense of joy in each painting.
Often working on unconventional surfaces like wood or stainless steel, Bling is known to be somewhat experimental with her art practice. Her confidence across various mediums combined with 5 years of formal art training allows her to push the creative limits of various contemporary products and techniques. The results are exquisite and make her art stand-out.
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. She lives with her two children and husband by the beach.
Bling’s goal is to resonate with people by connecting them to art they love, and to create works based on positivity
