About Rosemarie

Exhibitions & Awards

I’m a mixed-media artist working in abstract realism, creating quiet stories that explore the connection between humans, animals, and nature. Through symbolism and layered imagery, my paintings reflect hope, peace, love, and the quiet strength found in every living thing.

I began my creative career as a children’s illustrator and book designer. As my artistic journey evolved, I immersed myself in the study of the great masters, learning how light, composition, and emotion work together to create meaningful art. Later, through the Mastery Program at the Milan Art Institute, I further refined my artistic voice and approach to mixed-media storytelling.

Working primarily with acrylic and mixed media, I blend realism with abstraction to create layered, dreamlike pieces that invite viewers to slow down, look closer, and discover meaning beyond what first meets the eye.

Every painting is an invitation to pause, reconnect with nature, and remember the beauty, hope, and healing that surround us and live within us.
