Melissa Markell
"Perhaps the most unique and creative collage work seen in years."
This is what's being said of the artwork of Melissa Markell. Using nostalgic postcards, antique maps, paper ephemera from the 1930's to the present, she is creating works of art for the hospitality, restaurant and medical industries, the movie industry as well as for private collectors and special occasions.
Her work is thematic and often historical, telling a visual story with beautiful and subtle details. Her storytelling skills through her artwork can be seen in the Internet Café on the Grand Princess Cruise Ship, and over 300 original works of art are on permanent installation at the Merv Griffin's Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Her largest work is a 7' by 24' wall mural commissioned by the Staples Center in Los Angeles, which depicts the Downtown L.A. area and local events.
