Finding the beauty all around.

Celebrating Colours and Stories through Art

Welcome to my artistic world! I'm Mel Cowell, a passionate UK artist who finds solace, inspiration, and self-expression through vibrant colours and enthusiastic brushstrokes. Let me share with you a glimpse into my artistic journey and how it intertwines with my mental well-being and Neurodiversity diagnosis

Painting has become my sanctuary, a therapeutic space where my mind finds calm and my anxiety takes a back seat. Art has been a transformative tool in quietening the chaos within. It allows me to turn off the constant ADHD chatter in my head and embrace a sense of peace and serenity.

I have a distinct approach to creating art, often working in layers. Each layer tells a different story, inviting viewers to embark on a visual journey. I love the idea of art being an interactive experience, where each person can interpret and find their own meaning within my pieces.

Having dyslexia and ADHD has shaped my artistic vision. It influences the way I perceive the world, bringing a fresh and unique perspective to my work. Whether painting landscape or abstract artworks colours emerge onto the canvas, reflecting the vividness and richness of my sensory experiences. Through my art, I hope to celebrate the beauty of neurodiversity and invite others to see the world through a different lense

My colourful works are a reflection of my emotions, a visual expression of the joy, excitement, and sometimes, even the struggles I face. With each stroke, I aim to create a vibrant narrative that resonates with the viewer. Art has the power to evoke emotions, tell stories, and connect people across boundaries, and I am grateful to be a part of this incredible medium. Every day is different and my journey is ever evolving, I describe my practice as play and love to experiment with techniques, mediums and anything around me.

Thank you for joining me on this artistic journey. Through my creations, I aspire to inspire, to create conversations, and to bring a splash of colour into your life. I hope that my art not only brings you joy but also encourages you to embrace your own unique journey of self-discovery.
