Rather than
writing in a journal , Melanie Warsinske utilizes brushes and canvas to
document her life path, preserving her memories and emotion. Travelling the
world as a child with her family, she was fascinated by the shapes and textures
she encountered in Nature. She saw clouds, water, mountains, even the human
figure, as movement and form. When she began painting, she translated those
surroundings to emotion, then transforming them into visual representations.

Encouraged by her family, Ms. Warsinske pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree from Texas Tech University.
Immediately thereafter she moved to Colorado, where she remains,
continually inspired by its ever-changing majesty. Work as a technical illustrator, color study artist and
graphic designer over several decades honed her technical ability. Experimentation in different media led
to her current recognizable abstract expressionist style. The idiosyncracies of
the environment continue to fascinate her—the contrast of motion and calm,
power and vulnerability, drama and serenity. These seeming dichotomies are reflected in her recognizable
work. She feels her strength as an
artist lies in her ability to employ light and space, resulting in pure emotion
being captured on canvas.

Collectors throughout the United States connect with these visual
diaries. She has shown her work
internationally, most recently at the Los Arcos Gallery in Chacala Mexico,
where she worked as Artist in Residence, and the Nagasaki Museum of Art in
Nagasaki, Japan.
