In 1972 at an art street bazaar in Los Angeles, a shy young artist,
entirely self-taught, displayed her first two oil paintings. Within six
months she achieved national acclaim. Those of you who may not recognize
her name will recognize her style.

By 1976 she had become the most published artist in the world eclipsing
such legendary artists as Norman Rockwell and Salvadore Dali. Her
published works sold in the millions - more than any other artist dead or
alive.
Thus, it is said that she met with historical notoriety and overnight
success. At the age of 25, Rosamond was a major player in the art world,
and one of few women ever to succeed in it.

Rosamond's next step was to form her own publishing and distribution
company in order to have greater control of her artistic decisions. Soon
after the first lithographs were published under her own company, Rosamond
spent four months in Paris where she completed four new lithographs with
the prestigious Atelier Mourlot. These Parisian works are still available
and titledThe Observations Suite.Since 1974 Rosamond has published over 40
limited editions and the plan is to continue to publish the late artist's
works.

Her paintings, noted for their negative space, economy of line and purity
of subject matter immediately struck a chord with the public. The
portraits, while often serene, evoke a deeper response from the viewer.
Her style provides the opportunity in each piece for the viewer to create
from their own experience.

Many of those who have known Rosamond have recounted their memories of the
artist whose eyes sparkled with candor, tenderness, wit and vision. What
emerges from these recounted memories is a profile of a compassionate
individual with a child-like spirit, who had overcome her challenges and
created from the heart.

The home of Rosamond's creations remains in her gallery, Rosamond &
Company, Carmel, California. Here you will find a remarkable collection of
originals and limited editions that hallmark this artist's career.

On March 26, 1994 the world lost this treasured artist on the rocky coast
of the Pacific Ocean. Rosamond's artistic legacy is preserved forever in
her works, which eloquently express the essence of the feminine spirit.
Rosamond launched a career that remains as dynamic today as it was in
1972.
