Melanie Fleet creates work that lives at the intersection of resilience, identity, and reinvention. Through upcycled materials, mixed media portraits, and digitally altered prints, she explores narratives of powerful women, LGBTQ+ voices, and the strength found within communities often overlooked. By reworking discarded or forgotten materials, Melanie elevates what has been cast aside into objects of meaning and beauty, reflecting her belief that transformation is both an artistic and human process. Her practice embraces experimentation—layering texture, colour, and imagery to capture stories of defiance, tenderness, and survival. Grounded in sustainability, her art resists waste and honours renewal, asking viewers to reconsider what is valuable, what endures, and what deserves to be seen. Melanie’s work stands as both celebration and protest, reimagining possibility through creativity and care.
