I am Melanie Cambridge, a landscape artist based in South London, UK.
My work is a celebration of the land and coast around us. I am a painter of light, space and weather. Inspiration comes from painting directly from life in all seasons to capture the fleeting effects of light in the landscape. Larger works are then produced in my studio, often based on these smaller "plein air" studies. By creating art, I hope to show you my vision of the world and share it with you.
I actively encourage studio visits - there's no better way to experience original paintings than by seeing them "in the flesh". Visits are by appointment only, with absolutely no pressure to purchase, its simply an opportunity to see the work and have a conversation about what you are looking for.
To arrange a visit to my South London Studio, please EMAIL ME so we can arrange a convenient time for both of us to meet up.
I love working with people to create a commission. Having a painting of somewhere which holds a personal memory makes a very special gift. I have painted commissions as wedding gifts, memories of childhood holidays or just a special place you love. Whatever the reason, take a look my commissioning page and then get in touch by email. to talk about your ideas. I am always happy to help and advise you.
"It has arrived and I'm absolutely thrilled with it. The colours and texture are even better than in the photograph. It's perfect!" - Terry from Wiltshire
"Just wanted to let you know how much I loved my painting I got for Christmas. It was the Beach BBQ painting that my mum got for me, I love it! I am from Clonakilty in the south of Ireland so it reminds me of all the times I spend at the beaches around me." - Poppy from Ireland
"I have a wonderful memory of walks on the beach with my dog forever commemorated in a beautiful painting by Mel. From commissioning, to the initial brief and follow up meetings, it was a pleasure and stress free to work with Mel on our Saunton Sands project" - Sam from Esher
