Studio Visits: Melissa Haslam

Aussie artist Melissa Haslam has been hard at work on some new paintings, some of which will be revealed in San Francisco at the “Showcase: SF” exhibition with LeBasse Projects early next month (more on that later).

Melissa has put in a lot of time in this new set of paintings, even creating studies first, and it has all [...]
