We met Melinda Butt at a recent Billy Apple event at the fabulously yummy eatery known as Gala Cafe in Mt Eden. She asked ask for a cigarette and, almost defenestrating a nearby Otis Frizzell with a swish of her hand said "I'm an artist." "Are you?" we said "Then by all means, send us something then..." So she did, and here it is. Her exhibition Half Time Oranges - perhaps indicative of her candid personality - opens at Satellite Gallery, cnr St Benedict and Newton from July 1 - 13, 2008
