The Artist’s Hand: Maria Francesca Melis

In this next part of our interview series The Artist’s Hand, meet Maria Francesca Melis, an Italian illustrator and designer based between Sardinia in New Zealand. Francesca joined our group last Spring, and we had to know more about her story and what goes into her captivating, decorative, psychedelic style. Francesca’s vibrant work is used for posters, packaging, book covers, editorial, album artwork, and more.

There is something special about putting pencil to paper

Follow along with Francesca’s art process as she brings her pencil sketch to this final piece: Potluck

Illustration isn’t just about what’s created – it’s about what it makes us feel

Francesca talks about the influences of nature and her Sardinian roots on her work, and the emotional impact of creating art.
