About - Melanie Ross Designs

Hi I'm Mel, a self-taught watercolour artist based in the picturesque city of Christchurch, New Zealand. My love for creativity has been a lifelong journey, inspired by the vibrant world of colours, anything from fashion to interior design to the pages of a magazine.

With diplomas in both Interior Design and Graphic Design, I spent nearly 12 years immersed in the world of Graphic Design. However, in 2018, while embracing life as a stay-at-home mum with two young children, I felt a strong pull to reconnect with my artistic roots. Fascinated with watercolour and everything it had to offer I started Melanie Ross Designs by creating bespoke floral designs which were printed onto 100% New Zealand Merino, from there I would sew these up into beanies, scarves and headbands.

Today, from my sunlit studio my focus is creating custom art pieces and high-quality prints, Whether you're looking for artwork that is not only tailored to your home but connects you to your space, or prints that capture the essence of my original work, I am dedicated to adding a unique, personal touch and making your walls bloom with personality!

Let’s work together!
