Welcome! This page is to provide you with a more comprehensive overview of my support material for the CREATE Resilience Arts grant 2020.
Artist Bio
Melissa Shemanna is a regionally based artist in the Yarra Valley, living in an off-grid, mountain top home and studio. Mostly self-taught in painting and drawing, she has also had many mentors that spring from the lineage of Ernst Fuchs (Vienna Surrealist Arts). Her work has an evolutionary enquiry into human intelligence, contrasting super worldly imagery of organic form, futuristic techno and hyper-colour lenses with a visionary edge. Melissa founded The Honeybee Temple Arts Foundation in 2018, which acts as a mycelium network for innovating her multi dimensional creativity into local and global communities and involves fundraising for various activist projects.
