Artist Profile

Melanie Maclou

Melanie Maclou is an international sculptor, public artist and creative practitioner who teaches art to both children and adults.

Melanie has exhibited at Sculpture at Bathers since its inception and is a Sculpture at Bathers committee member.

Her large, organic artworks are inspired by nature and usually incorporate metal, concrete and LED lighting. Melanie enjoys enlarging and abstracting flowers, leaves, pods and nuts to bring attention to the smaller things in life, to encourage people to stop and smell the roses…

Her large floral artworks celebrate the beauty of women. The colourful dancing flowers featured in this exhibition feel the sun and wind on their petals, dance to their own beat and shine.
