Artist Name: Cathy Melvin
Title of Artwork: Swamp Discovery
Medium: Mixed Media
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:
Swamp Discovery is inspired by time spent in a Cypress-Tupelo swamp and is used to illustrate the mosaic of plants and animals that l came to know and love. The whimsical collage embraces the imagination and encourages the viewer to discover the diversity of life in a swamp for themselves.
