Blue Planet Artist

Kathy Ebbinghaus Melanson, BFA


Artist Statement

My colourful abstract paintings explore the elemental energy of water and earth, referencing rivers and land. My process involves layering paint, collage, drawing and texture combining to create a composition that speaks to me in some way. It is an intuitive process, often hard to articulate in words. My inspiration is the land - the layers of earth, trees, rocks, rivers and history - and I endeavour to create a new world reassembled from these disparate parts.
