Melinda Jane is an Australian visual artist and creative art therapist, whose art practice focuses on the intersubjective space between the felt sense of the body, time, place, and the experiences of memory and dreams, and the inextricable links between these elements.

Melinda is undertaking a heuristic research inquiry about attachment, differentiation, and an understanding of authentic self. Using emergent, creative exploration ( including visual art forms, somatic expression and the written word), as a process of excavating what it means to be human, to be fallible, to be achingly here, having traversed life until this point. Using a paring back of colour to reveal traces of experience through phenomenological resonance and inner reflection.

Melinda lives and works in Castlemaine, on unceded Dja Dja Wurrung country, in central Victoria.
