Melanie McDonald Coast Artist

Paintings and photographs from a coast artist. Lover of big skies and seas. I'm an artist from London who was lucky enough to grow up in Cornwall. Today I'm based in Brittany, France - where I'm renovating an 18th C. farm and building my dream studio. If I'm not here, you'll find me travelling along some forgotten shore with my partner, daughter and dogs .... à bientôt www.melaniemcdonald.co.uk
