Melissa Wishart

Melissa is a professional painter, working mainly in oils and acrylics. She has regular solo exhibitions and exhibits with the Royal Society of Marine Artists in the Mall Galleries. Born in Bermuda, she has always had a great love for the sea, feeling the energy and movement of the sea and air are key and as a painter, she aims to keep that freshness in her work. Melissa enjoys encouraging and stimulating other peoples’ artistic interests and enthusiasm.
In addition to her demonstrations and workshops, Melissa has undertaken several Artist Residencies in Bermuda, Tuscany and at the Hall in Bradford on Avon and would be happy to give an illustrated talk about these and the work produced during those times.
