East-coast artist Melissa Egan’s lyrical, figurative works are set in the Australian landscape, which is the typical backdrop for her whimsical and naive genre. She states: “while figures predominate in the majority of the work it is their interconnectedness with their environment that lends plausibility to their existence. To me, the landscape, the figures and animals interrelate with one another to be of equal importance.”

It would be impossible not to recognise the unique beauty and narratives that exist in her talented brush stroke.
