Beverley Meldrum was born in Penola, a small town in South-East South Australia, and remained in South Australia until she moved to the Mornington Peninsula 30 years ago. She is a descendant of the Wirangu and Kokatha Peoples.
Beverley became involved in art making at Baluk Arts in 2016. She has since proven herself as a skilled and thoughtful artist, excelling in a wide variety of media including ceramics, carving, jewellery, kelp and painting.
Deeply moved by kelp as a medium, Beverley has established an experimental range of jewellery which exploits the natural aesthetic qualities of the plant, combining it with corals, freshwater pearls, ghost nets and sterling silver.
