Rosa's profile

Between painting alongside my grandmother and watching my father build reproduction antique furniture, I grew up seeing no distinction between fine art and craft.  What mattered was that things were made by hand and done well.  It is with that in mind that I create my hand cut paper pieces.  Each of my papercuts is cut by hand from a single sheet of paper using a knife.  My cityscapes are based on photos I've taken in my neighborhood and all over the world.  While I'm is best known for my ability to capture thin tangles of powerlines and intricate brickwork, I also enjoy experimenting with novel media such as paper plates and paper towels.  I delights in bringing a modern, urban perspective to a traditional folk medium. 

I serve on the board of The Guild of American Papercutters.  I have exhibited my work throughout the East Coast and in China.  I resides in Baltimore with my husband and chihuahuas, Chalupa and Refrito.
