About Melanie Biehle
Biography
Melanie Biehle creates atmospheric abstract paintings inspired by travel and place. The artist grew up in rural Louisiana and has lived on the West Coast for much of her adult life. She currently works in her Seattle studio and lives just outside the city with her husband, son, and pets. Melanie received a Master’s degree in psychology and later studied abstract painting and composition at Gage Academy of Art in Seattle. She became a painter in her 40s, after becoming a writer, mother, and interiors and lifestyle photographer. Before that, she lived and worked in Los Angeles as a film marketer and optioned her romantic comedy screenplay. Her primary goal is to make art that feels the way that she does when she travels — spacious, curious, relaxed, and inspired.
Artist Statement
“While my paintings may have some basis in reality, they’re almost never focused on one specific location. Instead, they are an amalgam of energy, nature, architecture, color palettes, topographical aerial points-of-view, and memories of places that I have been.”
