The Jetty Gallery
Melanie Chmielewska
"My work is inspired by the wildness and wildlife of Argyll where I have lived for the past 11 years. Elements of my work has been influenced by Polish folk art and also from working within the Camphill community in Aberdeen where I learned to love Biblical stories and themes. All these I try to bring together in my work, and to find a sense of companionship with the wild creatures I carve.
For me stone has a timeless and peaceful quality which I love."
