As stone is a natural substance with its own individual characteristics, I work intuitively with it so that if the nature of the stone suggests a change of direction, I am free to respond. In preparation for commissions I make sketches. I use the sketches as a guide for my finished sculpture which is never an exact copy of the initial drawings. I take myself and my clients on a journey of discovery with the final sculpture being a true revelation. Not until the sculpture is in situ does it finally come to life!

| The Weaver |
The Miner |
The sculpture of the Miner was inspired by Morley's rich mining history. This sculpture has special significance to Melanie as she met her now husband Neil (an ex-miner) whilst carving the sculpture. The sculpture of the Weaver was inspired by Morley's rich history of women weavers - a lost history now remembered for generations to come. Both sculptures stand at the front of Morley Town Hall.
