Melanie Peer

Drawing, mixed media, painting

My paintings come from noting, investigating, celebrating commonplace miracles all around me in nature: from a bird's purity of motion in flight to the overflowing generosity of fruiting brambles. I share Cornwall, my home, with an unceasing flow of birds, creatures, windblown trees, rivers and habitats whose lives are preciously interwoven with my own, enriching mine beyond measure. I sketch and draw outdoors, often barefoot, as a prelude to completing paintings back in the studio. Visit my website to book a place on my two-hour Wild Woodland Drawing Workshop on Thursday 29 May 2025 as part of Cornwall Open Studios.
