About the Artist

Mellor is a contemporary artist known for bright, bold, and surreal imagery. Drawing inspiration from vintage animation and cartoons, her work features anthropomorphised animal characters that serve as satirical mirrors of everyday human types - the jobsworth, the rat racer, and the lost soul. Beneath the vibrant and seemingly playful palette lies a subtly unsettling, dreamlike quality, creating narratives that are both humorous and thought-provoking.
