Melanie Guy
Primarily, I am an artist committed to self expression through my medium. My subject matter is intrinsically linked to the environment and our mistreatment of it, by expressing memories and encounters of real experiences of living on the water and cruising at sea. My work reflects light and creates a visual animation by the forming methods that I use for the metal, I draw with light and in a metaphorical sense, the effect of this reflects a primal scream on Nature's behalf. Currently I make work in pewter extending the possibilities of the material into art forms. Much of my work is sculptural relief, suitable for the domestic or the corporate market. Please see my cv on my website. I use innovative methods to colour the metal and create different products from it. Some work falls within the designer-crafts genre. I am a fellow of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and exhibit work with them regularly. I also design for a playground building company which specialises in sustainably sourced material, mostly wood. We make especially excitingly creative constructions for the natural play environment. |
Melanie McDonald
Paintings of Cornwall - I gain much of my inspiration from the Cornish landscape - in particular beaches and the sea in Cornwall.

The Camel Estuary and Daymer Bay near Padstow in Cornwall are also continuing reference points. |

Towans Environmental Artist
Like many I have become concerned by our wastefulness and 'throw away' culture as I feel we have become so detached from nature and life. My intention with my ART is to draw on recycled elements found on the beach such as driftwood, old rope, pieces of coloured plastic, old fruit/nut stones, etc, I hope I achieve, and developed an understanding with recycled materials, be they naturally organic or man-made debri from the sea, so by creating something environmentally beautiful.
