Melanie Skyers

Melanie Skyers is a creative with interests across writing, photography, music, painting, and film who lives and works on Wurundjeri country. She began as a lyricist, her highlights including penning a top-twenty single, winning an independent music award, and writing for film and television. Beyond this, Melanie has delved into fiction and poetry via Faber Academy, Varuna, and a 2023 Wheeler Centre Hot Desk Fellowship. As a photographer, she has exhibited regularly and her series ‘Skyverse’ was part of the 2025 Midsumma Festival identity. While expressed across various disciplines, hopeful, visceral, synesthetic exploration of the human experience compels all she does.
