Born in Victoria 1975, Melinda McCarthy has been an exhibiting artist for the last ten years.
Throughout her career, she has worked on various freelance assignments with a large spectrum of people from those in theatre and various performers to community groups. Working with various mediums, her commissions and projects have involved painting, illustration, photography, screen-print, set and costume design, short film, installation, music and performance. As well as exhibiting in solo and group shows and projects, she has travelled the world playing traditional eastern European music on double bass.
Her inspiration comes from the ancient stories and songs of various cultures collected on her extensive travels , a journey initially triggered from being adopted and searching for her biological roots in Hungary and the United Kingdom.
"Myths, legends and folklore do not just tell of people and times past. They re-connect us to forgotten parts of ourselves, as they hold lessons and wisdom which still hold true, even today."
