Mel Brigg

Mel Brigg says he paints not because he wants to, but because he feels he must. It is only through this compelling need to paint that he can express his feelings and ideas. Mel says this burning need to express himself sends screwed up signals from his brain to his hand which his hand tries constantly to ignore, and guides his creative brain on a journey into the unknown.  Born in 1950 in South Africa, Mel began painting full time in 1979. He is self-taught, with a career spanning 40 years on three continents.  With a global collector base, Mel is a highly regarded, established artist who has called Australia home since 1993.  Learn more about Mel in his bio.
