Melissa’s story behind Wespine timber's new packaging artwork:

“My art is of modern contemporary design, and the meaning of my Pine Notes design is my interpretation of a microscopic image of a Pine Tree.

Aboriginal/Noongar art is always a healing and connection to country process. And I wanted this design to be meaningful when it came to these beautiful Pine Trees.

Designing my interpretation was such a natural flow of colour and meaning. As we are aware that the Pine tree timber is utilised for building production and sustainability for our future, so having a true understanding that the Pine trees are multicellular organisms, made up of millions of complex cells, full of organelles, which allows the Pine trees to regrow and heal when cut or damaged.

So my connection to this design is knowing that the creation of this natural Pine Tree can heal, is a healing to itself and us.”

Melissa created her beautiful artwork after visiting Staxa/Wespine to tour our operations.
