Introducing Melissa Davies, whose artwork is featured in our current exhibition, 'Perspectives'.

Melissa is interested in the stories we inherit, the stories we tell ourselves, and the stories we create when the world falls apart. Her large-scale abstract paintings are colourful, energitic and layered, exploring both the deeply personal and the mythic.

View her work, along with others, in the exhibition showing until Friday 18 December.

Opening next week, The Arts Lounge at Wyreena will feature 'Perspectives', bringing together works by five local early-career artists.

This eclectic collection of abstract, colourful and evocative works explores the artists’ unique perspectives on their inner and outer worlds.

In Room 1, Fiona Read’s watercolour works celebrate curiosity, gentle observation and the quiet magic found in everyday Australian nature. Melissa Davies’ energetic abstract works bring her inner world to life through colour and shape.

In Room 2, Chloe Dymond’s bright, bold and whimsical mixed-media works showcase her unique perspective as an artist with Down syndrome. Lincoln Gill presents a series of ethereal trees painted in oil. Standing in solitude against backgrounds of diffused light, the trees invite a quiet, meditative viewing experience.

In the Makers Windows, Jessica Kaaden presents a series of miniature canvases inspired by her fascination with the birds in the skies around her.

Exhibition dates: Wednesday 7 October to Friday 18 December.
