Formalising the creative process

Welcome! I have been stewing for some time over the seemingly arduous task of creating this blog.  Thankfully I have a whole rainy day to sit here and explore any hidden talent I might have for talking about myself; specifically about my creative aspirations. In days to come we will see whether I have the capacity to maintain this blog.

It has taken me some time to build enough confidence in my work to give it the attention that it deserves. Without being too sentimental to the reader, I'll say that I have been too easily distracted by 'less exciting' endeavours which have left me uninspired and disinterested.

I have had eight years experience as an artist. Having studied art for six years, and completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2010 at the Queensland College of Art in Brisbane, I am now participating in NEIS (New Enterprise Incentive Scheme); an incentive which has provided me with accredited small business training, business advice and mentoring, as well as financial support for one year.

I am currently at the Norman Park Studios, thanks to Juggler's Art Space at Fortitude Valley. My services are offered to those wishing to purchase original works of art. Alternatively, I am available for clients wishing to commission a unique work of art.

If you wish to be notified of upcoming exhibitions, or if you wish to contact me in regards to commissioned work, please email me at: meldavis_fineart@hotmail.com

To view my work online, please visit 'Mel Davis Fine Art' on Facebook. This is a public page so you do not need to be signed up to Facebook, unless you wish to comment on my work.

This blog will be part of what I hope will be a fruitful career, and I hope to share my skills and techniques to those who are interested. And if you're not interested in the 'how', then I will do my best to accommodate the appreciators and the critics.
