Mel Graham

I am an artist, covered in paint, and overflowing with ideas. My most favourite subject to paint is the sea, but I couldn't live further from it in land-locked Nottingham, UK.

I taught myself everything I know, and now I am lucky enough to have my own studio and adjoining gallery which are my sanctuary. On the floorboards one is very likely to find oil paint, or acrylics splattered carelessly as I zone out at the easel.

My work is free-forming, just like me, and I love to depict dramatic seascapes and landscapes, whilst focusing on the raw and sheer beauty of space and nature. That's my thing....

I am totally inspired by my ramblings in the hills, wanderings around the coast, and travelling the world in my big blue booties.

Am I Happy Soul? Why yes, if someone connects with my work that is all I could ever wish for.... I do feel very lucky as my work has made it to all sorts of places from the Falkland Islands, to New Zealand, San Francisco to Surrey. I wish I could fly with it in the packaging too!
