Melissa Egan is a favourite at The Hughenden. She brings her joy de vive to The Hughenden’s Victorian sitting rooms, a chardonay to the al fesco dining in the couryards looking at Queen Street, fanciful and youthful art to the hub of the arts community in Sydney’s Paddington-Wollahra.
Love Melissa and love her work. Her new exhibition at Richard Martin’s Gallery (www.richardmartinart.com.au) nearly sold out before the opening launched by ABC radio Presenter Tony Eastley.
Her whimsical characters cavort around the Italian countryside in a lyrical, imaginative fantasy within the landscape of the romantic Italian landscape. Melissa’ Egan’s art is rich with colour, character, multiple layers of imagery.
A narrative artist, like illustrators of children’s books, she brings story into her works.
