Born in Victoria, Australia, Krystii Melaine is passionate about life and about art. “I’m fascinated by the appearance and behavior of all living things, and by the process of expressing what I see in oil paint on canvas. Light, color, form and texture inspire my work, and the subtle gestures of people and wildlife provide an endless source of new ideas to explore.” Regular travels to the United States and time spent with cowboy and Native American friends have led to her more recent paintings of the people of the American West. Through sketches and studies, her initial inspiration develops into a composition that expresses the visual and emotional impact of her experience with each creature or friend.
