Melissa Streater

Wiradjuri

Mel Streater is a descendant of the Wiradjuri nation who was born and lives in the beautiful seaside town of Guruk, (Port Macquarie) on Birpai Country. Her love of art developed at a young age while watching her dad paint and sculpt. Marramarra is the Wiradjuri word meaning ‘to create, to make, to do’, and as Mel’s hands and understanding of the world grew, she recognised that she was driven to capture and create beautiful moments.

Her visual narrative is crafted with detailed, fine line illustrations and a bold contrasting colour palette.

Mel has a Bachelor of Creative Arts and Design majoring in Graphic Design from Charles Sturt University. She has a Cert IV TAE and teaches Wiradjuri Language through the Yarradamarra Centre - Dubbo TAFE, and Cultural Arts at Wauchope TAFE.

Central to all Mel's work is a desire to design from a culturally aware and ethical framework. Her passion for environmental sustainability and preservation, and social justice - especially for her people, drives her to choose clients who’s principles align with her own.
