Landscape.
Melissa Ritchie's 'Georges on Jones' won first prize in the 'Postcodes from the Edge' art prize in 2016. The small urban landscape of Melissa's own local corner store not only won the biennial art prize, but was also purchased by Wollongong Art Gallery, as part of their permanent collection.
Her other limited landscape paintings and drawings are inspired by the recent 2019/2020 Australian bushfires and the lack of climate action and environmental poilcy by the Australian Federal Government. |
