Bright pure pigment colours, fun energy, and furry friends encapsulate Merle's approach to pastel.
Painting
Using oil, alkyd, acrylic and mixed materials, Merle's still scenes communicate calmness amongst chaos that ensues in our everyday lives. Meticulous brush strokes create movement and animated canines tell stories of friendship and adventure.
Watercolour
Merle's use of colour and tone capture passages of light to create depth that draws the viewer in.
