ROXANNA MELENDEZ Click to view more work Roxanna Melendez is a visual artist, who often uses Caribbean themes in her paintings. As a child in Puerto Rico, Melendez was discouraged from pursuing her interest in art. She felt free to devote herself to art. To this end, she studied at Hunter College and at The Art Students League. In the last decade or so, Melendez has been exhibiting in Long Island, New York City, Woodstock, and the Capital District. Her bold paintings depict real life events within a personal symbolism. Melendez explores her cultural roots and her life in New York City through paintings with strong figurative elements.
