« Although I remain open to the possibility of exploration, I feel I’ve met my maturity as an artist and will continue to pursue the evolution of my canvas and works on paper. »
Mel Rea is a prizewinning American painter who has exhibited her work nationally. Drawing from Mother Nature as a constant source of inspiration, as well as her memories of her grandfather's apiary farm, she paints with molten beeswax to compose minimalist works that display elegant, clean lines, a serene sense of luminosity and a soft satin finish.
