| Melanie Guy Applied Art | |
| A visual artist with varied experience in teaching and design, I take inspiration from the natural world, stemming from time spent by the sea and living on the water and sailing. These times provide subject matter for my relief wall panels. I use the traditional material of pewter metal sheet, for which I search for new methods and applications. | |
