Melanies environment, the mountains of Colorado and California, the
exciting colors and shapes of the southwest, and the beautiful summer music
in the mountains and concerts in the Los Angeles area, have a profound influence
on her work. She is constantly searching to uncover the layers of color,
shapes, and movement within each of her pieces.
Melanie Roschko was born and raised in Los Angeles,
California. She was a student of Fine Arts at UCLA and also studied Landscape
Architecture. She worked for landscape architecture firms in Los Angeles
and owned a landscape design and construction company in Aspen, Colorado.
Melanie is a retired PSIA certified ski pro. Having taught skiing in Aspen
for twenty years, she loved stopping with a client to observe Kodak

her time between Westlake Village, CA and Aspen, CO.
