Mellow Appleyard Art
I'm an independent Australian Artist named Melanie Appleyard. I go by the name Mellow with my artwork - a nickname that friends and loved ones call me!
I love natural pigments and textures, so I often paint using mixed media such as ground coffee beans, fresh coffee, cement, sand, natural clays, minerals, plaster and acrylic paint. I love the way that these mediums create an earthy feeling to the artwork that imitates the same colours and textures that we see outdoors in nature.
Each original art piece has many layers... Sometimes there are as many as 30 layers to a final painting, it can take weeks for me to complete each one, slow and steady is my pace. My artwork is often inspired by things that I see outdoors in nature. I also draw inspiration through the feelings that I get from the music that I listen to as I paint, which is often quite calming. I was a Day Spa Manager for many years and am also a trained yoga teacher, so I enjoy listening to relaxation and piano music when I paint - it feels like meditation to me.
I live in a small beachside town in northern NSW called Emerald Beach. Inspiration is easy when there's so much gorgeous nature so close to my home.
