Artist Portfolio Magazine’s 20 Art Competition

Rosemary Read – Petaluma, CA

I am a 27 year old artist from Rhode Island, currently residing in northern California. I primarily create abstract paintings on up-cycled wood, driven by the beauty and intricacy of fluvial land forms, the ocean, and the powerful sense of movement in nature. The majority of my work is inspired by my travels throughout the US, aerial photography, emotion, and energy. I strive to create a sense movement in my work while also ending up with pieces that are relaxing and calming to the eye. In my effort to create in an environmentally conscious manner, I repurpose old or scrap wood to use as a canvas as much as possible.
