ART HOUSE pop up: Sophie Melville at Wilson & Dorset, Wanaka

by Julia Atkinson-Dunn

What a GORGEOUS collection for lovers of the New Zealand mountains and the Wanaka region. 

Sophie's collection; "Where the light enters", presents the familiar dramatic skylines of Wanaka and surrounds, with ethereal sweeping sun rise and sun set skies. She has a wondrous ability to shape landscapes with watercolour while also communicating what it would feel like to be there. 

We opened Sophie's ART HOUSE show with a lovely preview evening in store at Wilson & Dorset on Thursday 15th of August. Sophie entertained with a live painting demonstration and visitors enjoyed lounging in cosy Wilson & Dorset sheepskin concepts while she delivered a talk, sharing her process and inspiration. 

Sophie's work is available online and can be viewed in store until the 12th of September. 

A huge thank you to our fantastic hosts; Wilson & Dorset for allowing us to share Sophie's work in such a beautiful, inviting and inspiring space.
