This serene still life captures the essence of a quiet morning with a blue vase holding a native Australian flower, a moka pot, and a collection of cups and saucers. Set against a blue backdrop, the scene includes a Basquiat book and strawberries, creating a tranquil and inviting atmosphere. Melanie often starts the day with coffee and a favourite art book, which she paints in this work. She first fell in love with Basquiat as an aspiring young artist in her early twenties, and his bold paintings continue to inspire her.

Please note that these are estimated shipping days. Historically speaking, most of our customers have received their prints earlier than expected! If you need to receive your order by a certain date, please contact us for express shipping options.
All prints and frames are robustly packaged. However, if anything goes wrong during transportation, you will be sent a brand new print.
For more information, please go to our shipping page.
We offer our art in multiple sizes and framing options. Our classic framing option is minimal, modern, and affordable, while our box-style frames are more premium, thicker, and include a spacer that separates the art from the acrylic. You can see the sizes for each option by clicking the boxes. The third measurement for the framed options is the depth of the frame from the wall.

Melanie Vugich is an inspiring still life painter whose journey began in the town of Broken Hill, New South Wales. After spending time in Adelaide, Sydney, and London, Melanie's artistic path led her to Florence, Italy, where she lived for 25 years. During her time in Florence, she worked as a fabric designer for high-end fashion labels while nurturing her passion for painting.
In 2010, Melanie returned to Sydney, settling in the beautiful suburb of Bronte, where she now paints full-time. Her still life artworks celebrate the intricate beauty of Australian native flowers and everyday household items, transforming them into captivating pieces of art.
