Original Texture No. 2 by Melissa Mary Jenkins

Artist Melissa Mary Jenkins creates her own botanical inks from foraged plants and then adds in thread, pastels and marks in ink. Melissa’s abstract landscapes reflect the colours of the seasons, the lines of the hills surrounding her studio and the trees dotting the horizon.

MELISSA MARY JENKINS lives in a lovely rural setting in an old stone farm house surrounded by vibrant landscapes. Her studio is framed by windows looking out onto dazzling golden fields, towering pine trees, a flourishing apple orchard and a natural pond. She spends her summer on a lake in northern Ontario where she spends her days painting by the lake and local waterfalls. Melissa paints with and around her twin girls and in between living "life".
