Working from projections of photographs I’ve taken, I trace the lines loosely with a fine square ended brush, and the marks build up the complicated patterns of the whole. Using traditional materials and composition, my work gives these fleeting moments status and draws attention to their value.’ - Melanie Goemans, 2020

Artist Statement
“Wandering in the early morning, I notice small seasonal shifts and variations; the quiet beauty in natural commonplace things, rarely celebrated. My paintings are about what I see around me, the transient and the temporary: the form of a tree, the lines of stems, and how they enchant the space around. The constantly changing architecture of these familiar things is remarkable. Back in my studio, working from photographs, the paintings begin to tell a further story about transience and memory, and the traditional materials and composition give an enduring value to the subject.” Melanie Goemans 2025
