MEL SIMPSON

Mel Simpson’s images of popular culture icons appear through this issue of Bent Street. Mel works on both commercial and fine art projects. Her commercial work is predominantly focused on queer popular culture from Australia and abroad, with a particular drag queen and camp tv slant, while her fine art content is influenced by sexuality, gender identity and nature.

Born and raised in Queensland, Mel Simpson received a Bachelor of Fine Art from Griffith University in 2006, majoring in painting. She moved to Melbourne the following year and has been a Melbourne dweller ever since, with the exception of a year living in Vancouver, Canada. Mel has exhibited in solo and group shows in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, including shows for Midsumma at galleries such as Gasworks, 69 Smith Street and Red Gallery. More recently she has started her own independent illustration business, Kittenpants Studios.
