Melissa Wishart

melissawishart.com/

Melissa was born in Bermuda and lived there until she was seven. When

she was 18 and working in London, Melissa attended St Martins School of

Art part time and whilst studying for her honours degree at Edinburgh

University she also attended Edinburgh College of Art part-time.


Melissa's early career was as a documentary film-maker for television to

create large scale video projections in theatre and site specific settings

for artists, dancers and actors. During this time she continued to paint

and as success grew for her paintings through group exhibitions, her

time became more focussed around oil painting.


Melissa loves light, water, life, skies, landscapes, the sea in all its moods

and the human body. Portraiture allows her to explore different

emotions, energies, atmospheres and elements.



Her approach is fairly loose and her method explorative, although a strong drawing background underlies it. A

connection is made with the subject matter and therefore she finds working "en-plein air" can often prove most fruitful

and incisive as the observation and connection is direct.


Some of Melissa's sources of inspiration are the works of Turner, Rembrandt, Seago, Singer-Sergeant, many Scottish

colourists and artists from other media. Melissa works in all media with a strong oil painting track record.


She predominantly paints in oils, acrylics, watercolour and also enjoys pen and wash sketching. Some work she

produces includes mixed media. She is very engaging, funny and a knowledgable tutor.
