Melissa’s practice is shaped by a philosophical grounding in the slow movement and the intimate. These modes of practice inform each other, and incorporate whatever medium suits at the time.
In addition to building an international creative practice interested in participatory forms - this includes residencies, programs and events, strategy as art, and making spaces for others to connect and be creative, active and social. A vital focus of the work and practice is collaboration, as a creative practitioner and also as a creative executive.
With post graduate qualifications in visual art, arts management, and creative industries, Melissa is certified in mindfulness meditation teaching, Yin Yoga teaching and Raw Food Chef certification and holds a graduate degree in Wellness through RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia).
Melissa was a Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop Fellowship recipient as part of the Asialink Leaders Program, 2021.
