Melanie Miller studied at the Cape Town Technical College obtaining a diploma in Art.
She painted initially on fabric, and then introduced painting on pottery to her oeuvre. Amongst her works were table cloths, sold widely in Cape Town.
After some four years of painting on fabric, she decided to change to the medium of canvas, where she felt immediately at home, being able to express herself more freely and create expressionistic, colourful works of art.
In 1999, Melanie relocated to Sydney where she was encouraged by a highly acclaimed artist from South Africa, Eileen Rogoff, who had recently emigrated herself. In 2003 & 2004 Melanie exhibited at six exhibitions including two galleries, selling all of her portfolio. She was further guided by Anette Pringle, a renowned Australian mentor and artist, in exploring the tapestry of abstract together with textured finishes.
Combining bright colours and abstract forms with newly perfected textured finishes, her paintings have attracted buyers from many countries, including the USA, South Africa and Europe.
"Moulton Galleries feel that Melanie Miller is one of the best abstract artists in Sydney today with her vibrant work giving the most amazing contribution to any décor"
