From Broken Hill to Florence to Bronte, Melanie Vugich has made the most of the opportunities that have come her way. The Australian painter works in vibrant, rich colour combinations, which is a nod to her career in fabric design. 2021 has been a great year for Melanie with two strong solos and three amazing collaborations. And although it may have seemed to all come quite quickly for the artist, it's actually been a long road. This week on Interview With An Artist we talk about how Melanie established a career in fabric design, how it was grief that took her to the easel full time, and how her collaborations came about, including one with Oscar de la Renta.
