The Grass Isn’t Always Greener – This title contorts a familiar phrase to provoke the observer to search for their own reason why.

Melissa Kenihan is a Melbourne based artist. Although only devoting herself to her art full time in 2017, Melissa is a lifelong artist and storyteller. A childhood filled with drawing and painting gave way to a 20-year career “painting with sound” as an award-winning audio engineer and sound designer for film and TV. Melissa’s work is grounded in connection, experience and memory. It evokes time and place, and a feeling of reluctance to look away from a moment that teases an intriguing backstory. There is depth to her imagery that hints at hidden elements and story threads, somewhere beyond the trademark of realism and expressive detail.
