Rosemary Barrett: THE AWAKENING

Rosemary Barrett is an accomplished artist who has shown her work in Europe and the US for the past three decades.
Ms. Barrett comes from a long line of artists and craftsmen who exposed her to ideas and techniques that have influenced her sculpture and painting. Art is important in the Barrett family and Rosemary’s love and exploration started early. Awards in High School and College include a full Ford Foundation Scholarship and various museum scholarships.
Paintings in oils, acrylics, mold making, sculpture and finally murals are all mediums in which Barrett works.

Many of the works in “The Awakening” will be paintings of lotus flowers, which Barrett finds not only beautiful but also resonant in the current moment: “The whole idea of them really moves me. Historically, the lotus has shown up for centuries — centuries. And one of the things I loved about it that I thought was really pertinent for our time right now is that it represents commitment and optimism from the future, as it rises from muddy waters,” she said.
