Melida Lempio

 

 
 

I was born in Prussia in 1940, to very creative parents who encouraged in their daughter a passion to paint and draw.
 Later, I was fortunate to study art for three years at the Goldsmith College, Pforzheim in the Black Forrest, before migrating to Australia and Cobram with my husband in nineteen sixty-one.
In retirement there is time to be a full time artist and student-of-art, with participation in workshops conducted by such well known Australian artists as John Thomas, Ross Paterson, Robert Wade OAM, Eve Hayles, Jenny Newhound, Charles Sluga, Malcolm Beatie, Amanda Hyatt, Richard Grenville-Smith and Kevin Boucher.
