Size: 100 × 80cm
This portrait of WA botanist Diana Barrie marks the transition in Melissa’s career between her fragmented “window” paintings, towards more classical portraiture indicative of her Flight of the Battery Hens series. Completed at the beginning of her residency at PS Art Space in 2024, the painting draws on themes of connection, man’s place in nature, and the power of overcoming internal fears.
