Melanie Ellery is a painter, creating lively, expressive abstract works.
After graduating from Illustration at Sheridan, she worked as a graphic designer and art director in Toronto, Ontario and Vancouver, B.C., then fully turned her focus to painting.

Melanie can be found creating vibrant, contemporary art in her Port Moody studio. Her work is process-driven, colourful and dynamic; she paints intuitively and spontaneously, expressing life, energy and joy. 
A founding member of the artist collective, ‘13 feet off the ground’’, Melanie has participated in artist residencies in Graniti, Sicily, New Mexico, USA and San José del Cabo, Mexico.

“I view my work as a journey–one filled with experimentation, discovery, joy and fulfillment. My intention is to paint intuitively, let the work go where it may and then step in to control its resolution. I aspire to make art that is uplifting and invokes joyfulness."
