About The Artist: Melissa Rohwer

Welcome friend! I’m so glad that you’re here :) I’m an oil painter that creates dark, visceral art.

My work has prompted family to ask me, “Melissa, are you okay?” and my response is that it is BECAUSE of creating dark, cathartic, emotion driven art that I’m okay. It’s important to me to show others that their emotions and feelings are valid, and that they’re not alone.

My goal as an artist is to provide you with validation. To help put into visual what words fail to express. To show you that you’re not alone, and provide a space that is genuine, authentic, raw, and real.

Along with creating art, my favorite things in life include spending time with my family (husband, 3 kiddos, and our rescues! Max our pup, and Luna & Nala our kitties!), hiking with my dog, being in nature, coffee, music, mental health advocacy, watching The Office, finding humor in everyday life, and growing in faith <3

Thank you for being here! I appreciate you :)
