Mella 分享說：「冬天下雪的時候，在挪威我家門外，我用塑料袋快快把雪載滿，貯在工作室的冰櫃裡，使我全年有創作冰雪畫的原材料。創作的時候，我把一塊雪放在水彩畫紙上，把我選用的顏料放置在冰雪上，看待它在紙上融化所形成的圖案。冰雪融化需要時間，期間我留心觀察它---冰雪和顏料混和在紙上的變化，在必需的時候，按照我的想法控制形成過程，有時它會形成一個漂亮的湖泊、或其他令人眼前一亮的圖案。乾燥後，我常常從這些自然構圖中，看到酷似人體的部份，臉部、頭部、腳、身體等等。所以我會在恰當的地方畫上線條。 如果觀眾從我的冰雪畫中看到新的面貎，對我會很有啟發的。」 相關文章「冰雪畫」

'Snow Paintings is created by snow and pigments on paper,' Mella said, ‘When the snow falls in wintertime, at my home place in Norway, I am very fast to bring a plastic bag outdoors, fill it with snow and put it in the fridge, in my studio. In that way I will be able to work with snow any time of the year.’ 'I put a clump of snow on a watercolor paper. I choose what colors I would like to use, usually the same palette, and put pigments instinctively upon the snow. The melting process takes time, but during this time I am able to see what happens, and how the snow and pigments mix together, and I can manipulate what happens if I want too, or see if that is necessary at all. The snow melts to a colorful lake on the paper and makes exciting formations. I usually see figures related to humans in these compositions. I use ink to draw up lines to strengthen the figures. It is very inspiring to me if the viewer see something new that I have not seen.' See also 'Snowpaintings'
