The stunning detail in Melissa Forman's paintings is near-photographic at times and highly stylized at others.
The vivid scenes remind me of another fantastical painter (and illustrator, and sculptor, and more) named Leslie Minnis. I had the privilege of seeing some of her work at Andenken, a unique gallery space in Denver.
You can see a few more images on their site by clicking on the photo set with her name, Feb 2008. Interestingly, Leslie extends the worlds created in her paintings into tangible existence by crafting select objects found within. Kites, musical instruments, monster sleeping bags...it really is amazing, go see!
