Reflections Collection
Reflections is an invitation to pause, to breathe, and to reconnect with the quiet beauty that often lies unnoticed around us. In this collection, Mel embraces the calming essence of nature, blending together fall-inspired hues and soothing tones to evoke a sense of tranquility. Each piece is a meditative journey, layered with soft textures and subtle gradients that mirror the introspective qualities of autumn light and shadow, subtly evoking the contemplative atmosphere found in the work of Mark Rothko. With a therapeutic intent, Reflections invites viewers to sink into a space of calm contemplation, offering a gentle reminder to find peace within and resonate with the stillness around. For Mel, creating these works has been a grounding process, a way to channel the restorative power of nature and share a moment of quiet connection in an ever-busy world. Warmly received, Reflections was Premiered at Art San Diego (Nov 1-3, 2024) and introduced to over 3,000 attendees, offering a glimpse into Mel’s serene, fall-inspired abstracts.
