By Oddist Jones, South East Regional Editor - The American Artists Gallery   Melissa Vacek is a stunning and gifted photographic artist. Her work is both provocative and evocative. Often at first glance her images can be disturbing, but beyond that, after falling into the piece you see that underneath there is always softness, soulfulness and a certain innocent vulnerability. Melissa’s post work on her photos can easily be described as nothing less than astounding. Like an enchantress she adds layers of rich textures...
