Melanie-Joy Steadman, 25 years old, began life in her as an 'Observer and Translator '.
"I expressed what I saw, via pencil & paper. However as I grew, colour became more and more a major part of my work. I developed a certain style; bold use of colour and outline, combining flora & fauna into my creative portraits. This was not nearly enough! Now I'd discovered my powerful use for colour, I needed to extend that, think of different ways to 'express' it."
"Studying Fashion Design opened my mind to a new 3-Dimensional world, where 2D patterns could become 3-D objects, behaving differently in the dimensions of time & space. Always pushing myself to come up with new, 'original' expressions of creativity, I branched out into jewellery in a serious way! (This had been a hobby of mine for 10 years). When I could not find what I wanted 'out there' the logical thing (so it seemed) was to make it myself! And so that is my journey so far...”
