Melanie Cheung is an abstract artist based in Hamilton, Ontario. Her work seeks to express the intangible aspects of being human; emotions that are difficult to voice, subconscious thoughts, fleeting memories, and inexplicable feelings. Using fluid, translucent layers of paint and mixed media, Melanie works through a combination of careful planning and intuition. She finds a sense of calm through unique colour pairings and poured techniques, allowing imperfect textures to form, creating harmony between wanting control and leaving room for chance occurrences.
