Corinne Melanie, the Mornington-based artist known for her vibrant botanicals and abstract expressions, has unveiled her latest collection, and it's a love letter to the Australian summer. Inspired by her recent travels along the sun-drenched coasts of Northern New South Wales, Queensland, and beyond, the collection captures the essence of warm air, red earth, and fiery sunsets.

"This collection is a reflection of my own personal journey," shares Corinne. "We spent our Christmas holidays exploring the coastal towns, sailing the waters, and soaking up the richness of Queensland's beaches. The colors, textures, and energy of those experiences have deeply influenced this body of work."

The collection is a perfectly balanced blend of warm hues, with burnt oranges, deep reds, and sandy neutrals taking center stage. Bold tropical leaves and lush greenery intertwine with abstract forms, creating a sense of depth and movement. Corinne's signature blend of digital and traditional techniques results in art that is both modern and timeless, echoing the enduring allure of the Australian landscape.

This collection is an invitation to connect with the feeling of summer – the warmth of the sun on your skin, the smell of salty air, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore. "I want people to feel something when they look at these pieces," explains Corinne. "I want you to be transported back to their own treasured summer memories, to feel a sense of warmth, nostalgia and joy."

Corinne's passion for mid-century modern and Soho interior styling is also evident in the collection. The bold colors and organic forms lend themselves beautifully to these aesthetics, while the tropical influences add a touch of playful maximalism. Whether you're drawn to the clean lines of mid-century design or the eclectic vibrancy of Soho, these pieces will effortlessly elevate your space.

With this new collection, Corinne Melanie has once again demonstrated her ability to create art that is not only beautiful but also deeply meaningful. It's a celebration of the Australian summer, an ode to the power of memory, and an invitation to bring the warmth and energy of the coast into your home.
