Artist Name: Cathy Melvin
Title of Artwork: Backyard Discovery
Medium: Mixed Media, Collage
Artist Bio:
I am a children’s book author and illustrator living in central Arkansas. I love to encourage children both young and young at heart to stay curious and creative, especially when it comes to the natural world. My work is nature themed using mixed media and painted paper collage. I use my scissors to piece together a picture of painted textures to form a story which I hope will delight, engage, and stimulate the imagination.
Artist Statement:
Backyard Discovery is inspired by a childhood memory discovering ladybug larva. The piece embraces the adventurous side of collage, exploring shapes and textures that come together to make the piece what it is. Backyard Discovery encourages the adventurous viewer to discover for themselves the little things found in nature.
