Poppy Melia (Dublin, 1966) is an Irish artist with an international sensibility and presence. in 1989, after graduating from the national college of art and design, she spent a year painting on the Polynesian islands with her mother and sister. on returning to Europe her debut solo exhibitions in London and in Dublin were critical and commercial triumphs. since then, Poppy has traveled and painted throughout the world, drawing inspiration from sojourns in Nepal, China, New Zealand, North America and Europe, in particular, Tuscany where she has summered with her family since early childhood.
