Mélanie Rocan

[3] Rocan is also an occasional professor[clarification needed] for the University of Manitoba[4] where she teaches drawing classes.

[1] Rocan is a three time finalist in the RBC Canadian Painting Competition across Canada before its conclusion in 2019.

[10][11] Rocan most typically works with watercolour, acrylic, and oil paint on canvas with a method similar to free association.

[12] She uses familiar items such as bed frames, floral wallpaper, and tire swings to evoke memories and a feeling of timelessness.

She makes use of "stretched fabric pieces"[10] and ribbons tied "around a telephone pole or fence post".
