"I am trying to communicate my Joy in G-D's Creation.  I have spent the last six years studying the Bible, reintroducing myself to the Lord G-d's word.  I have also researched other "histories" of the countries we have travelled in.  I could spend three lifetimes painting pictures using the Bible as my only inspirational source and never finish expressing His Love Letter to us.  Although all of my inspiration comes from G-d, my subject matter includes Scriptural passages, family and friends celebrating Shabbat and other holidays, Nature, Animals, Landscapes, Still Life, Unique Observations, and Portraits.

Rosemarie spent twenty years as a junior accountant (three years accounting and business education), retired five years and devotes most of her time to painting.

She had her "Coming Out Party" with a "One Woman Show" at the European Art Cafe, in Rockville, MD, December 9, 1995 - January 15, 1996.  "I consider this first a very successful one, as I sold fourteen paintings."  She is a member of Rockville Art League, juried into O AA, Strathmore Art League, the Rockville Arts Place and the American Guild of Judaica Art.  She is organizing a watercolor workshop soon by popular demand.  Rosemarie has just been "juried" into the Sugarloaf Fine Arts and Crafts Festival.  Rosemarie teaches art to children at a private Christian school called Covenant Life of Rockville, Maryland, in an effort to enlighten them of the Jewishness of Jesus.  She is lead to do this by the Ruach HaKodesh.  The goal is to dispel antisemitism and bigotry.  She also teaches Shabbat School to 1st, 2nd, 3rd graders at Son of David Congregation in Olney-Laytonsville, Maryland.  She has also produced nine Limited Edition Prints and about fifteen offset prints, which are offered to gift shops around the country.  All my Limited Edition Prints come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
