Melanie Bellis was born and grew up in Doncaster, South Yorkshire and now lives and works in London. Her 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.

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. Melanie was elected to the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers (RE) in 2017.
