Reclaimed: A solo exhibition by Melissa De Winter

Step into a world where decay becomes beauty, and renewal rises from the remnants of the past.

Join us for the opening of Reclaimed, a captivating solo exhibition by Melissa de Winter, where nature, art, and environmental consciousness merge through the ancient medium of encaustic painting. Using reclaimed materials and beeswax, Melissa explores the themes of decay, renewal, and interconnection—layering painting, sketching, and sculptural elements into intricate, tactile works that speak to the rhythms of the natural world.

A practicing Apiarist and passionate environmentalist, Melissa draws from her life in the Perth Hills, inspired by the wild forms of native flora and the silent transformations unfolding in our ecosystems. Each piece is a quiet act of observation and a gentle call to awareness—inviting you to look closer and feel deeper.
