Melissa lives on the Gold Coast/Yugambeh, Queensland.
As a young person she was always doing creative things like painting and drawing, whilst also studying graphic design, digital art specialising in a mixed media preference.
After experiencing domestic violence in relationships and her son surviving self-harm and suicide attempts, as well as an unexpected family member loss - Melissa focussed her efforts on developing her “Breath of Choice” paintings.
She has now found time to be creative- writing and painting again consistently.
This piece is about the release from a situation, finding peace and looking up at a new beginning.
