Artist Statement

Miksang - a Tibetan word meaning "good eye" is a concept that inspires Rosanne's work. Serendipity is never far away as she takes photos and adjusts and paints them digitally using her iPad and an Apple pencil. No traditional paint is applied. Instead the use of virtual brushes add colour, texture and form creating dramatic impact in her work.

Limited edition fine art prints often surprise the viewer. Recent travels with her family to London, Paris. Aix-en-Provence, St. Ives and Oaxaca State in Mexico have provided countless opportunities for inspiration.

My Story

Mystery and beauty are at the core of my work. Inspired by light and layered elements of design, may your heart be enlivened as you look at each piece!

I remember the moment my art journey took a magical turn. Sitting at home in my living room sipping water from an azure blue hand crafted glass— sunlight streamed through the water creating dappled light effects, reflecting shadow and a spectrum of colour. “You need to photograph this”, said my husband. So, it began. Transferring high resolution, macro photo details of light through glass to my iPad, I began a new process of digital painting: transforming shape, adding colour and texture to closeup photos of light through glass and water to create something new. Tibetans describe the process of seeing beauty in a new way “Miksang”— seeing with a “good eye”— a concept that resonates with me deeply.

I see daily opportunities to photograph light, beauty and colour in the world around me. Opportunities are ever available — if we have eyes to see.

My camera is my constant companion. 

Each of three noted series of my abstract minimalist Digital Fine Art is uniquely inspired.

The “Xaquixe Glass” series is inspired by delicate colours reflected through light and water in Xaquixe handblown glass created in Oaxaca City in Mexico.

The “After Barbara Hepworth” series is based on photo details of Hepworth’s magnificent organic sculptures on display at Tate St. Ives and in her home studio Trewyn in the village of St. Ives.

And, the “Essence of Being” series reflects deeply personal experiences in which photographed light and shadow are transformed creating mesmerizing organic, abstract shapes related to the realm of spirit.

Each work of art (Limited Edition of 5) is based on a macro photograph that has been adjusted digitally using an iPad, Apple Pencil, and software applications. No paint is applied: colour is added using virtual paintbrushes to create dramatic impact.
 

Works are printed by Toronto Image Works with archival quality inks, laminated and mounted to aluminum composite panel with a subframe, sized to suit your space.

Bio

Rosanne has hit her stride creating Digital Fine Art in her Guelph studio, finding great joy in the process. Her style is unique, minimalist and highly recognizable. The spirit of Rosanne’s work is at once organic, and architectural.
