The Parnell Gallery has represented Melissa Young for over twelve years. Melissa is represented in galleries throughout New Zealand and she also exhibits regularly at the Academy of Fine Arts Wellington.
From the artist:
“I like experimenting when sculpting. New ideas and themes often evolve from conversations that I’ve had or scenes that I have observed. The naming of the works is also important to me. It gives an insight into ideas behind the work and hopefully expresses some of my personality and humour. All my sculptures are cast in bronze, but from time to time I like to push the boundaries by challenging myself to work in other mediums painting and mixed media.”
