Melanie Bellis Urban Scene II, 2023 Etching on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Melanie's work focuses on urban and industrial landscapes, and the man-made structures that populate them. Her drawings and prints explore architecture in all its forms, derelict sites from our industrial past, well-known buildings of our time, and new developments under construction. The underlying theme in her work is change and the way we constantly develop and reshape our surroundings. Education Melanie was trained in Fine Art Printmaking at Doncaster College then Norwich School of Art. Select Exhibitions/Awards Melanie's work has been exhibited across the UK and internationally, including being selected several times for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Her work is held in a number of collections, including the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, and the V&A and British Museums in London.
