Morbid Beauty - Abstract Art
BackMelissa Rocha from Merced, California is my favorite abstract artist of all time! She has painted well over 50 unique paintings and has never opened up to the public about her work until now.
::ABOUT MELISSA ROCHA::
Melissa was born in Merced California where she currently resides alone with her daughter. When she was younger, she was in and out of the local psychiatric hospital, and painting became her medicine. Even today, she admits that painting (and her 5 year old daughter) are the only things that keep her life together.
::ABOUT HER PAINTINGS::
She has many different types of painting that all have one thing in common... her feelings. She paints what she feels and at times, she has even been known to paint what others feel.
::CONTACTING MELISSA ROCHA and I::

::CLOSING::
I have many more of her paintings on video with her talking about them, but I just wanted to see what others would think before I posted more. So if you are interested in knowing more about Melissa Rocha's paintings, feel free to contact me or say hello to her yourself on myspace.
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy her work as much as I do.
-Cory

try ebay- get an idea of what people would pay for these, do an art gallery show under her name, and since no one (i assume) knows what she looks like, she can walk around and talk to people. usually art collectors attend these and will pay top dollar to hang in their house. if she's not looking to sell, the gallery should she catch someones attention will make offers towards opportunities, etc.. you get the idea what i mean? this woman has so much potential. she's gotta get her art out there.

She should go to art school and learn something!

Well they are certainly not abstract paintings, Where did that idea come from?
