Welcome to the official website for art by Melanie Reed, that's me! 

Art has always been a driving force in my life. And not just the visual arts, performing arts as well. My training as a ballet dancer in middle school and high school prepared me for a later love of figure drawing.  Most of my paintings are motion sequences inspired by the stop-action photography of Eadward Muybridge and Thomas Eakins. 

I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Drawing from Western Washington University. I took many art classes there, including photography, printmaking, and illustration. I am currently working as a graphic designer for the Sequim Gazette in Sequim, WA. 

Most of the art featured on this site has been sold, but reproductions and commissions are available by contacting me at 360-681-4869 or emailing me at reedmb@lycos.com.
